Abstract

Three classes of arbitrary quantitative molecular similarity analysis (QMSA) methods have been computed using atom pairs, topological indices, and physicochemical properties. Tailored QMSA models have been developed using a selected number of TIs chosen by ridge regression. The methods have been applied to the K-nearest neighbor based estimation of log P of two sets of chemicals. Results show that the property-based and tailored QMSA methods are superior to the arbitrary similarity methods in estimating log P of both sets of chemicals
