There is a statement missing in the original publication [1] regarding data in Tables 1 and 2—“The entries in Tables 1 and 2 with 0 (zero) do not represent actual physical measurements. Instead, these zero values indicate unavailable data from the original studies”.
A correction has been made to Section 2.1. Data Retrieval and Analysis, paragraph 2:
In addition, the compressive and flexural strength were chosen as the output variables. The quantity of input variables and the dataset have a substantial impact on a machine learning method’s result [37–39]. In the present study, 638 data points (mixes) were employed to run machine learning methods for compressive strength prediction, and 139 data points (mixes) were used for flexural strength prediction. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the descriptive statistic evaluation of each input variable for compressive and flexural strength prediction, respectively. The mode, median, and mean exemplify basic propensity, while the standard deviation, minimum, and maximum denote variability. The entries in Tables 1 and 2 with 0 (zero) do not represent actual physical measurements. Instead, these zero values indicate unavailable data from the original studies. The relative frequency dispersal of input factors employed to forecast the compressive and flexural strength is depicted in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. This represents the overall number of readings linked to each input parameter.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
