A corrigendum on
In Silico Prediction of Chemical Toxicity for Drug Design Using Machine Learning Methods and Structural Alerts

by Yang, H., Sun, L., Li, W., Liu, G., and Tang, Y. (2018). Front. Chem. 6:30. doi: 10.3389/fchem.2018.00030

In the original article, there was an error.

The Equation (6) was:

Specificity= TPTP+FP    (6)

A correction has been made to Model Building With Machine Learning Methods, Model Evaluation, Equation (6):

Specificity=TNTN+FP    (6)

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

The original article has been updated.
