+abstract: |
+ This study compares the accuracy of (Q)SAR/read-across predictions with the
+ experimental variability of chronic LOAEL values from *in vivo* experiments.
+ We could demonstrate that predictions of the `lazar` lazar algrorithm within
+ the applicability domain of the training data have the same variability as
+ the experimental training data. Predictions with a lower similarity threshold
+ (i.e. a larger distance from the applicability domain) are also significantly
+ better than random guessing, but the errors to be expected are higher and
+ a manual inspection of prediction results is highly recommended.
