​Because the observations in the data set don't differ much between them​.
To be more specific, the data set consists of a congeneric series of
organic molecules and the ebservation is their binding strength to a target
protein. The idea was to train predictors that can predict the binding
strenght of new molecules that belong to the same congeneric series.
Therefore special care is taken to apply the predictors to the right domain
of applicability. According to the literature, the same strategy has been
followed in the past several times. The novelty of my approach stems from
other factors that are irrelevant to this thread.
