Popis: Glass forming ability (GFA) is a property of utmost importance in glass science and technology. In this paper, we used a statistical methodology---involving bootstrap sampling and the Wilcoxon test---to find out which glass stability parameters can better predict the glass forming ability. We collected or measured the necessary data for twelve stoichiometric oxide glasses that underwent predominant heterogeneous nucleation (the most common case). We found that some GS parameters could predict the GFA of these oxide glasses quite well, whereas others perform poorly. Parameter $K_w$ was the top ranked, closely followed by the $K_H$, $\gamma$, $H^{'}$, $\Delta T_{rg}$, and $K_{cr}$. Our results corroborate previous reports carried out using a smaller number of glasses, much less GS parameters, and less rigorous statistics. We also found that using $T_c$ instead of $T_x$ improved the predictive power of these parameters. Finally, the Jezica, the only parameter considered here that predicts the GFA without requiring the production of a glass piece (i.e., without relying on any crystallization information), ranked reasonably well in our analysis.
