Figure 1. Receiver operating characteristic graphs of Ames mutagenicity prediction for the QSAR models. (a, b) Sensitivity to class A chemicals (A-sensitivity) versus specificity to class C chemicals. (c, d) Sensitivity to class A + B chemicals versus specificity to class C chemicals. Each black dot represents a single QSAR model from one of the participating teams. Red and yellow circles indicate the models selected before and after access to the Ames test data, respectively.
