Modeling and prediction

Another problem is to determine the optimal number of descriptors for the objects (patterns), such as for the structure of the molecule. A widespread observation is that one has to keep the number of descriptors as low as 20 % of the number of the objects in the dataset. However, this is correct only in case of ordinary Multilinear Regression Analysis. Some more advanced methods, such as Projection of Latent Structures (or. Partial Least Squares, PLS), use so-called latent variables to achieve both modeling and predictions. 

SONNIA can be employed for the classification and clustering of objects, the projection of data from high-dimensional spaces into two-dimensional planes, the perception of similarities, the modeling and prediction of complex relationships, and the subsequent visualization of the underlying data such as chemical structures or reactions which greatly facilitates the investigation of chemical data. 

The possibilities for the application for neural networks in chemistry arc huge [10. They can be used for various tasks for the classification of structures or reactions, for establishing spcctra-strncturc correlations, for modeling and predicting biological activities, or to map the electrostatic potential on molecular surfaces.

A key requirement of QSAR is that the compounds used in the modeling and prediction processes should have the same mechanism of action, and for this reason most QSAR studies are made with congeneric series of compounds. However, if a diverse set of compounds can reasonably be assumed to have the same mechanism of action, QSAR modeling can justihably be carried out. For example, Dearden et al. [43] developed a QSAR for the ratio of brain levels of 22 very diverse drugs in the wild-type mouse and the P-glycoprotein knockout mouse (R+/ ) ...

Pharmacokinetics is closely related to pharmacodynamics, which is a recent development of great importance to the design of medicines. The former attempts to model and predict the amount of substance that can be expected at the target site at a certain time after administration. The latter studies the relationship between the amount delivered and the observable effect that follows. In some cases the observable effect can be related directly to the amount of drug delivered at the target site [2]. In many cases, however, this relationship is highly complex and requires extensive modeling and calculation. In this text we will mainly focus on the subject of pharmacokinetics which can be approached from two sides. The first approach is the classical one and is based on so-called compartmental models. It requires certain assumptions which will be explained later on. The second one is non-compartmental and avoids the assumptions of compartmental analysis. 

The mobilities of alkylpyridines were modeled and predicted in capillary zone electrophoresis.35 The model predicted that compounds adopt a preferred orientation, and additionally predicted mobilities of structural isomers to within 4%, a higher degree of accuracy than can be obtained from simple considerations of van der Waal s radius. Quantitative prediction of the mobilities of some pyridines, such as alkenylpyridines, was not possible. Mobilities of small solutes in capillaries filled with oligomers of ethylene glycol were related to solution viscosity and the diffusion coefficient.36...

A very similar QSAR approach for the modeling and prediction of selectivity of oq-AR antagonists has recently been carried out by Eric el al. It confirms the usefulness of the supermolecules approach and of the ad hoc shape descriptors in the rationalization of cq-ARs affinity and cq-AR subtype selectivity [98].

In the following paragraphs a method is developed that models and predicts the temperature effects in an extruder. It is then followed by an example to demonstrate the use of the new dissipation model. This model is then extended for use as a control volume calculation method that allows the prediction of fluid temperatures as a function of the axial direction.
