Focus on diversity:
o of QSARs models and endpoints.
Episuite (v4.1) LC50 Fish (96h) LD50-Oral Rat Ames (Salmonella) Skin Sensitisation X X X CAESAR (VEGA, v1.0.4) T.E.S.T. (v4.0.1) X X X (X) (X) OECD Toolbox (v2.3) (X)
o of chemical structures.
Mono-constituent, registered under REACh (full-dossier, disseminated). Main functional group Alcool Phenol/Diphenol Nitrile Amino N# 23 8 2 14 Main functional group Phosphite/phosphate Fluorated Chlorinated N# compounds

Consensus makes the prediction more robust, OECD Toolbox: variability for making a prediction AND concluding on the prediction (discrepancies between assessors).
Endpoint predictibility
Two QSARs instead of one.

Good accuracy for all endpoints, Accuracy improved for "No Effects" cases (LC50-Fish, LD50-Rat), Poor specificity for skin sensitisation.
