Membership is inferred from statistical classification of X-ray sources, from detection of a robust infrared excess that is best explained by circumstellar dust in a disk or infalling envelope and from published spectral types that are unlikely to be found among field stars. We present the MYStIX membership lists here, and describe in detail the statistical classification of X-ray sources via a "Naive Bayes Classifier." Description: The Massive Young star-forming complex Study in Infrared and X-rays (MYStIX) project, described by Feigelson et al. (2013ApJS..209...26F), seeks to identify and study samples of young stars in 20 nearby (0.410% of source flux. Note (G8): SED Properties (Povich et al. 2013, Cat. J/ApJS/209/31) with SED classification as follows: 0 = likely YSO, 1 = starburst galaxy, 2 = AGN, 3 = PAH knot Note (G9): Evolutionary Stage classification as follows: 1 = stage 0/1, 2 = Stage II/III -1 = ambiguous. Note (G10): H2_dominant_factor ("H2f") reports the classifier term that exerts the most influence on the H2 posterior probability as follows: 1 = prior, 2 = MedianEnergy, 3 = J magnitude, 4 = X-ray variability, 5 = spectral type, 6 = 4.5um magnitude, 7 = infrared SED model. Note (G11): Classification in X-ray as follows: 0 = unclassified 1 = H1: source is a foreground Galactic field star 2 = H2: source is a young star in the MSFR (Galactic massive star-forming region) 3 = H3: source is a background Galactic field star 4 = H4: source is an extragalactic object -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History: From electronic version of the journal References: Feigelson et al.
