“…According to Enslein (1994), the accuracy of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity predictions are extremely high: 98% (against a mutagenicity dataset of 1083 chemicals) and 99.6% (against a carcinogenicity dataset of 705 chemicals), respectively. However, some subsequent evaluation studies (Prival 2001) indicate that for external sets of chemicals, the accuracy of TOPKAT prediction is considerably lower (40-75% against datasets of 30-40 chemicals) and these results were not significantly better when the analyses were restricted to predictions made inside the OPS.…”

“…These four classifi ers are based on structural descriptors computed from atomic and bond E -state indices. Prival tested the TOPKAT system by determining its ability to predict the chronic rodent carcinogenicity of 28 chemical compounds tested by the National Toxicology Program [51] . Although the sample used in this test is small, the classifi cation results suggest that the predictions of the TOPKAT carcinogenicity modules do not agree with the experimental fi ndings of the National Toxicology Program.…”

“…The results of a trial using TOPKAT to predict the carcinogenicity of chemicals tested by the U.S. NTP were disappointing, with a low rate of successful prediction (Prival 2001). It should be emphasized that the results of this trial should not be taken in isolation.…”
