It has to be pointed out that, while high leverage chemicals in the <strong>QSAR</strong> model training setrein<strong>for</strong>ce the model itself, the test chemicals with high leverage values greater than thewarning value have unreliable predicted data, being the result <strong>of</strong> substantial extrapolation <strong>of</strong>the model.Several other SIDS chemicals have unreliable predictions according to their leverage values(1,2,3-Propanetriol (S2), Ethene,chloro (S12), 2-Cyclohexen-1-one,3,5,5-trimethyl- (S18),1,6-Octadien-3-ol, 3,7-dimethyl (S19), 2-Propenamide (S23), 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-ethenyl(S37), 1,2-Benzenedicarbonitrile (S43), Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, anhydride (S54), 2-Propenoic acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester (S68), 2-Butenal, 3-methyl (S79), Cyclohexene (S90), 5-Hepten-2-one,6-methyl- (S92), 2-Propanol, 1,1'-oxybis (S93), 1-Propene (S96), 1,6-Octadien-3-ol, 3,7-dimethyl-, acetate (S99), Phenol, 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-(S115), 3,5,9-Undecatrien-2-one, 6,10-dimethyl- (S118), 2-Propenoic acid, butyl ester(S119), 1-Hexadecen-3-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl- (S126), 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid(S127), 5-Isobenz<strong>of</strong>urancarboxylic acid, 1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo (S128), 2-Buten-1-ol, 3-methyl (S129), 1,4-Benzenediamine, N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl- (S133), 1,3,5-Triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)- (S135), HCFC 141b (S143),Cyclohexanol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-, [1R-(1alpha,2beta,5alpha)]- (S144), 2-Propenoicacid, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl ester (S147), Cyclohexanemethanamine, 5-amino-1,3,3-trimethyl- (S149), 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, tris(2-ethylhexyl) ester (S152),Hexadecanoic acid, 2-sulfo-, 1-methyl ester, sodium salt (S155), 2H-Pyran, 3,4-dihydro-2-methoxy (S157), 2-Benzothiazolesulfenamide, N,N-dicyclohexyl- (S159), 2,6-Octadienal,3,7-dimethyl (S161), Benzene, 1,4-dimethyl-2-(1-phenylethyl)- (S163), Benzenepropanoicacid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-, methyl ester (S165), 1,4-Benzenedicarboxylicacid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester (S166), Cyclohexanamine, 4,4'-methylenebis[2-methyl- (S167),Benzene, bis(1-methylethyl)- (S171), Benzene, 1,1'-oxybis-, pentabromo deriv. (S174)).These are not displayed in Williams plot because their experimental toxicity values aremissing. These are outside the applicability domain <strong>of</strong> the model according to their leverageand thus their predictions are not reliable.Then 22 SIDS chemicals were identified as strong outliers (Formaldehyde (S1), 1,2-Propanediol (S3), Formamide, N,N-dimethyl- (S8), 2-Butanol (S21), 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, methyl ester (S32), 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, dibutyl ester (S35), Butanamide,N-(2-methylphenyl)-3-oxo- (S45), 1,2-Ethanediamine (S76), 2,4-Pentanediol, 2-methyl-(S78), 2-Propanol, 1-methoxy (S81), 2-Butyne-1,4-diol (S89), 1,2-Benzenediol (S103), 2,4-Pentanedione (S108), Acetic acid, butyl ester (S110), Phosphoric-acid-tributyl-ester- (S112),2-Propenoic acid, ethyl ester (S117), Acetic-acid-ethyl-ester (S120), 2-Propanol, 1-phenoxy(S132), Phosphonic acid, dimethyl ester (S137), 1-Propanol, 2-phenoxy (S156), Phenol,nonyl- (S169), Phenol, 4-nonyl-, branched (S177). These chemicals are outliers only in theY-response space, since they are inside the X-AD <strong>of</strong> the model: either their toxicity valuesare wrong or the model is lacking in some additional feature.Evaluation <strong>of</strong> predictive per<strong>for</strong>manceThe prediction capability <strong>of</strong> the model in terms <strong>of</strong> explained variance (Q 2 ext) and externalstandard deviation error <strong>of</strong> prediction (SDEP ext ), evaluated by including only those SIDS testdata with reliable predictions according to the leverage approach, is satisfactory.26
