A decision tree for Design Methodology is illustrated in Fig. 3.2. Each step in the tree is explained briefly below. The steps have also their own subtrees, which are described separately.

Decision trees for optimal drug design strategies have been proposed by Topliss [64] and by Purcell et al. [65].

In summary then, one should analyze the problem at systems level prior to model selection based on entry characteristics and environmental dynamics of the pollutant. Experience suggests that it is better to rely on intuition and a few calculations than to construct a formal logical decision tree for guiding this process. Often, the compartment screening models are helpful at this stage. Characterization of the sources, the environment and the fate properties is an essential prerequisite to any procedure. 

The platform includes different decision trees for the following endpoints the estimation of Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC), aquatic modes of action [44], skin and eye irritation and corrosion, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity [45], in vivo micronucleus assay, identification of Michael Acceptors and biodegradation potential [46].

The test statistics from a Mann-Whitney are linearly related to those of Wilcoxon. The two tests will always yield the same result. The Mann-Whitney is presented here for historical completeness, as it has been much favored in reproductive and developmental toxicology studies. However, it should be noted that the author does not include it in the decision tree for method selection (Figure 22.2). 

To find systematically the right solvents for TMS systems it appeared desirable to establish a decision tree for solvent selection [41], Subsequently this tree was implemented into an expert system program [42], This program is based on the miscibility rules of Berg [43] who classified the solvents into five groups (Table 13).

The group has elaborated on their approach and provided a scheme (decision tree) for hazard identification and risk assessment of complex mixtures (Feron et al. 1998, Groten et al. 2001) (Figure 10.6). In this scheme it is suggested that ... 

Classification trees are used to predict membership of cases or objects in the classes of a categorical dependent variable from their measurements on one or more predictor variables. Lewis et al. (334) used the concept of classification trees to design a decision tree for human P450 substrates. The intention was to predict which CYP isozyme will interact with which substrates, based on physicochemical parameters. The resulting classifiers are the volume, the...
