Target space representations

A better representation of the multidimensional data is based on the minimization of the overall measure of topographical distortion, i.e. placing the original, multidimensional vectors (treated as points in the feature space) in a low-dimensional (usually two-dimensional) target space. This procedure is known as the multidimensional scaling (MDS) and has been used predominantly in mathematical psychology [18]. Similar procedures were introduced by Sammon [19] and Duch [20]. One useful measure of topographical distortions is ... 

Fig. 2.4. Schematic representation of the different relationships between the important regions in phase space for the reference (0) and the target (1) systems, and their possible interpretation in terms of probability distributions - it should be clarified that because AU can be distributed in a number of different ways, there is no obvious one-to-one relation between P0(AU), or Pi (AU), and the actual level of overlap of the ensembles [14]. (a) The two important regions do not overlap, (b) The important region of the target system is a subset of the important region of the reference system, (c) The important region of the reference system overlaps with only a part of the important region of the target state. Then enhanced sampling techniques of stratification or importance sampling that require the introduction of an intermediate ensemble should be employed (d)...

This work introduced the concept of a vibronic R-matrix, defined on a hypersurface in the joint coordinate space of electrons and intemuclear coordinates. In considering the vibronic problem, it is assumed that a matrix representation of the Schrodinger equation for N+1 electrons has been partitioned to produce an equivalent set of multichannel one-electron equations coupled by a matrix array of nonlocal optical potential operators [270], In the body-fixed reference frame, partial wave functions in the separate channels have the form p(q xN)YL(0, radial channel orbital function i/(q r) and antisymmetrized in the electronic coordinates. Here 0 is a fixed-nuclei A-electron target state or pseudostate and Y] is a spherical harmonic function. Both and i r are parametric functions of the intemuclear coordinate q. It is assumed that the target states 0 for each value of q diagonalize the A-electron Hamiltonian matrix and are orthonormal. 

A primary, or unbiased, library is a large set of compounds (t5q)ically thousands to millions) based on diversity and aimed at the discovery of samples of interest for targets for which little, if any, information is available. Diversity is a concept unrelated to the library size that attempts to evaluate the representation of chemical space by a chemical library using computational methods If this space is sampled evenly by the components of a library, then this library is considered to be diversity based (Fig. 4.1, left). A focused, or biased, library is a similarity-based set of compounds (typically hundreds to thousands) aimed at the discovery and optimization of lead structures for a target for which a structural model on which to design the hbrary is available. Similarity is a concept unrelated to the library size that is opposite to diversity if the library components are clustered around the model structure A, the library is similarity based (see Fig. 4.1, right).

The removal of the ambiguity in the context of formal scattering theory was first achieved by Stelbovics and Bransden (1989) in the case of a one-electron target. They give references to related considerations in a coordinate-space formulation of the problem. The method was extended to a square-integrable representation of the target (e.g. equn. (5.53)) by... 

In order to implement the approximation to the optical potential we must choose a form for the potential Vopul (7.132) in which the Green s function is calculated (7.135). We choose different types of potential for the discrete and continuum channels of Q space, projected respectively by Q and Q+. For Q space we choose the average potential for the target state i). Its coordinate representation is obtained from (7.48,7.63,7.66)... 

Scattering experiments are usually not very sensitive to structure. On the other hand the differential cross section for ionisation in a kinematic region where the plane-wave impulse approximation is valid gives a direct representation (10.31) of the structure of simple targets in the form of the momentum-space orbital of a target electron.
