SAR classification

The most difficult problem in pattern recognition applications to SAR-classifications is the formulation of meaningful descriptors that describe the molecular structure and are correlated with the classification problem. The widely used concept of a linear, binary classifier assumes a linear relationship between the structural properties (pattern components) x. and the biological activity. 

A modular program system especially suited for SAR-classifications was developed by Jurs et. al. C127, 287, 288, 2911. The same authors intensively studied the computer-assisted manipulation and usefulness of various types of molecular descriptors C4111.
