Self-consistency can mitigate the error of the outliers as the MAE at the qs$GW$ level is now \SI{0.57}{\eV} and the standard deviation of the error (SDE) is decreased from \SI{0.31}{\eV} for $G_0W_0$ to \SI{0.18}{\eV}.
In addition, the MSE and MAE (\SI{0.23}{\eV} and \SI{0.25}{\eV}, respectively) are also slightly improved with respect to $G_0W_0$@HF.

Let us now turn to the new method of this manuscript, the SRG-qs$GW$ self-consistent scheme.
Table \ref{tab:tab1} shows the SRG-qs$GW$ values for $s=\num{e3}$.
The statistical descriptors corresponding to this alternative static self-energy are all improved with respect to qs$GW$.
In particular, the MSE and MAE are decreased by \SI{0.06}{\eV}
In particular, the MSE and MAE are decreased by \SI{0.06}{\eV}.
Of course, these are slight improvements but this is done with no additional computational cost and can be easily implemented by changing the form of the static approximation.
The evolution of the statistical descriptors with respect to the various methods considered in Table \ref{tab:tab1} is graphically illustrated by Fig.~\ref{fig:fig4}.
The decrease of the MSE and SDE correspond to a shift of the maximum toward zero and a shrink of the distribution width, respectively.

In addition to this improvement of accuracy, the SRG-qs$GW$ scheme has been found to be much easier to converge than its qs$GW$ counterpart.
Indeed, up to $s=\num{e3}$ SRG-qs$GW$ self-consistency can be attained without any problems for the 50 compounds.
In addition to this improvement in accuracy, the SRG-qs$GW$ scheme has been found to be much easier to converge than its qs$GW$ counterpart.
Indeed, up to $s=\num{e3}$ SRG-qs$GW$, it is straightforward to reach self-consistency for the 50 compounds.
For $s=\num{5e3}$, convergence could not be attained for 11 molecules out of 50.
This means that some intruder states were included in the static correction for this value of $s$.
However, this is not a problem as the MAE of the test set is already well converged at $s=\num{e3}$.

Therefore, for future studies using the SRG-qs$GW$ method, a default value of the flow parameter equal to $\num{5e2}$ or $\num{e3}$ is recommended.
On the other hand, the qs$GW$ convergence behavior is more erratic.
At $\eta=\num{e-2}$ ($s=\num{5e3}$), convergence could not be achieved for 13 molecules while 2 molecules were already problematic at $\eta=\num{5e-2}$ ($s=200$).
But these convergence problems are much more dramatic than for SRG-qs$GW$ because the MAE definitely do not reach a convergence plateau before these problem arise (see the orange curve in Fig.~\ref{fig:fig6}).
For example, out of the 37 molecules that could be converged for $\eta=\num{e-2}$ the variation of the IP with respect to $\eta=\num{5e-2}$ can go up to \SI{0.1}{\eV}.

This difference in behavior is due to the energy (in)dependence of the regularizers.
Indeed, the SRG regularizer first includes the terms that are important for the energy and finally adds the intruder states.
On the other hand, the imaginary shift regularizer acts equivalently on intruder states and terms that contribute to the energy.

Finally, we compare the performance of HF, $G_0W_0$@HF, qs$GW$ and SRG-qs$GW$ again but for the principal EA energies.
The raw results are given in Table \ref{tab:tab1} while the corresponding histograms of the error distribution are plotted in Fig.~\ref{fig:fig7}.
The HF EAs are underestimated in average with a MAE of \SI{0.31}{\eV} and some large outliers, for \SI{-2.03}{\eV} for \ce{F2} and \SI{1.04}{\eV} for \ce{CH2O} for example.
The HF EAs are, on average, underestimated with a MAE of \SI{0.31}{\eV} and some clear outliers, for \SI{-2.03}{\eV} for \ce{F2} and \SI{1.04}{\eV} for \ce{CH2O} for example.
$G_0W_0$@HF mitigates the average error (MAE equal to \SI{0.16}{\eV}) but the minimum and maximum error values are not yet satisfactory.
The performance of the two qs$GW$ schemes are quite similar for EA, \ie a MAE of \SI{\sim 0.1}{\electronvolt}.
The performance of the two qs$GW$ schemes are quite similar for EA, \ie a MAE of \SI{\sim 0.1}{\eV}.
The two partially self-consistent methods reduce as well the minimum value but interestingly, the three flavors of many-body perturbation theory considered here can not decrease the maximum error with respect to their HF starting point.
Note that a positive EA means that the anion state is bound and therefore the methods considered here are well-suited to describe these EAs.
