Figure 9 DNN vs RF with refined parameter settings. Each column represents a QSAR data set, and each circle represents the improvement, measured in R’, of a DNN over RF. The horizontal dashed red line indicates 0. A positive value means that the corresponding DNN outperforms RF. The horizontal dotted green line indicates the overall improvement of DNNs over RF measured in mean R’. The data sets, in which DNNs dominates RF for all arbitrarily parameter settings, are colored in blue; the data set, in which RF dominates DNNs for all parameter settings, is colored black; the other data sets are colored gray.
