species1: This is the species name given by the first translation method.
species2: This is the species name corresponding to the best arrangement found by the second translation method.
species3: This is the species name corresponding to the second-best arrangement found by the second translation method.
An arrangement here refers to the match found between all the species to be translated (in the isomer group) and all the species used for translation (in the isomer group). The best arrangement is the one with the minimum mean normalized mean absolute difference (mean NMAD).
- Second list [value1, value2, value3]
value1: This is the direct NMAD between the species_to_translate and species1, given by the first method.
value2: This is the mean NMAD for the best arrangement of the whole isomer group, given by the second method.
