Abstract: The sentence “The parameter rm2(overall) penalizes a model for large differences between observed and predicted values of the compounds of the whole set (considering both training and test sets) while the parameter Rp2 penalizes model R2 for large differences between determination coefficient of nonrandom model and square of mean correlation coefficient of random models in case of a randomization test.” should read as: The parameter rm2(overall) penalizes a model for large differences between observed and predicted values of the compounds of the whole set (considering both training and test sets) while the parameter Rp2 penalizes model R2 for a small difference between determination coefficient of nonrandom model and square of mean correlation coefficient of random models in case of a randomization test.
Section 2.3.2.4: The sentence “We have used a parameter Rp2 [32] in the present paper, which penalizes the model R2 for the difference between squared mean correlation coefficient (Rr2) of randomized models and squared correlation coefficient (R2) of the non-randomized model.” should read as:
We have used a parameter Rp2 [32] in the present paper, which penalizes the model R2 for a small difference between squared mean correlation coefficient (Rr2) of randomized models and squared correlation coefficient (R2) of the non-randomized model.
Conclusions: The sentence “The parameter Rp2 penalizes model R2 for large differences between determination coefficient of nonrandom model and square of mean correlation coefficient of random models in case of a randomization test and thus confirms whether a model has been obtained by chance or not.” should read as: The parameter Rp2 penalizes model R2 for a small difference between determination coefficient of nonrandom model and square of mean correlation coefficient of random models in case of a randomization test and thus confirms whether a model has been obtained by chance or not.
