16. * in Eq.] has a consistent value. Even our high- T MD samples were constrained to have the same density as at T = 0 rather than the physical zero-pressure values.
17. Fits from forces alone were insufficiently constrained, including energy differences, even with low weight, improved the fit.

20. An alternative weighting favoring accuracy in the energies would decrease the rms deviation for the energy data points to 7.9 meV/atom, while increasing the rms deviation of the force data to 0.15 eV/.
