Abstract
Abstract Six weighting schemes and six similarity coefficients have been used in a systematic comparison of measures for the determination of inter‐molecular structural similarity. The effectiveness of the measures for molecular property prediction was tested using sixteen small sets of compounds for which property data was available. The comparison suggests that the weighting of fragments by their frequency of occurrence in molecules is often useful, but that there are only small differences in performance between the similarity coefficients tested.

The chapter focuses on the four operations highlighted by reviewing techniques for assessing the tendency of the data to cluster, performing the clustering itself, and evaluating the validity of the results, and introduces the concept of intrinsic dimensionality that helps determine an appropriate number of factors for representing data.

1 Citations1980Rodney F. Minchin, Barry W. Madsen
It was concluded that inhibition of chlorphentermine binding in rat lung was greatest for multicyclic compounds with low valence atoms substituted on or near the ring substructures, and that the ability of the connectivity theory to define the activity of a relatively non-homogeneous data set indicates its potential in quantitative structure-activity studies.
