Popis: | Features of the principal component analysis, which can be used to decrease the dimension of the space of initial molecular descriptors in the search for classification rules predicting the activity of new compounds, are considered in application to the class of adamantane and indole derivatives possessing hepatoprotector activity. It is shown that (i) when the number of molecular descriptors is greater than the number of compounds in the training set, a preliminary selection of descriptors in the initial set is necessary to determine the principal components ensuring the optimum classification of compounds with respect to the given activity type, and (ii) in order to obtain the most effective classification rules, it is necessary to take into account the principal components with small and very small contributions to the total dispersion of the initial molecular descriptors. |
