Here, we investigate the performance of L-PDFT on a subset of automated SA-CASSCF vertical excitation energies in the QUESTDB dataset. More specifically, we take as our data set the subset of excitations where MC-PDFT with the tPBE0 functional has an unsigned error of less than 0.55 eV, which accounts for 439 excitations. We choose this threshold to omit any possible excitations where the predominant error comes from a poor choice of the active space. We note that the nature of this threshold makes this subset of data biased in the performance of tPBE0. However, as the principal motivation of this study is to investigate whether L-PDFT can reproduce the good results of tPBE0, it is suitable for the purposes of this work.
