  1. Entry “mass” is the exact theoretical mass of the loss. Entry “known” indicates whether the loss was included in the expert-curated common loss lists in A [34], B [41], or C [42]. Entry “total” indicate the (rounded) frequency of the loss in the trees computed from the dataset, weighted by the maximum peak intensity of the two peaks that are responsible for this loss. Entries “expected” is the weighted frequency we would expect from the loss mass prior, and \(P_{\text{loss-comm}}\) is the common loss prior after correcting for the loss mass prior
  2. aLosses H and \(\hbox {H}_{2}\) can be interpreted as artifacts of the loss mass prior
  3. b \(\hbox {C}_{10}\hbox {H}_{9}\hbox {NO}_{3}\hbox {S}\), \(\hbox {C}_{12}\hbox {H}_{8}\hbox {ClNS}\) and \(\hbox {C}_{11}\hbox {H}_{10}\hbox {Cl}_{2}\hbox {N}_{2}\hbox {O}\) are artifacts, stemming from either their high mass or the small number of chlorine-containing compounds in the datasets
