Our findings for the best-performing methods mirror our previous benchmark studies on singlet-singlet and singlet-triplet excitations, with the difference that SOS-ωB88PP86 and SOS-ωPBEPP86 performed better for those than the top-three functional in the present study. Given that their MADs for doublet-doublet excitations are only marginally larger than for the top-three methods, we can recommend SOS-ωB88PP86 and SOS-ωPBEPP86 as more robust methods that work well for different types of excitations.
