Test series, rational design

The use of statistical design strategies to select test series in QSAR studies is particularly valuable, as it permits to rationalize both the advancement of knowledge and the investment of resources. In fact, by this approach it is possible to select only a few molecules to be synthesized and tested, but in such a way that they contain the widest information, and therefore they permit to derive reliable QSAR models while saving a lot of the resources presently required for a single study.
