SD‐modelling and Prediction by WHIM Descriptors. Part 5. Theory Development and Chemical Meaning of WHIM Descriptors

Todeschini, Roberto, Gramatica, Paola·1997·Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships

Abstract

WHIM descriptors are 3‐dimensional molecular indices that represent different sources of chemical information. WHIM descriptors contain information about the whole 3D‐molecular structure in terms of size, shape, symmetry and atom distribution. These indices are calculated from (x, y, z)‐coordinates of a molecule within different weighting schemes in a straightforward manner and represent a very general approach to describe molecules in a unitary conceptual framework. A set of 40 simple heterogeneous compounds is used to show the main characteristics, some properties and the modelling power of WHIM descriptors by using simple scatter plots of the descriptors, Principal Component Analysis and predictions of simple physicochemical properties.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
