In this paper we propose a modeling methodology suitable for QSAR studies which selects the proper descriptors based on evolutionary computing and finally produces Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network models. The method is successfully applied to the benchmark Selwood data set. AV - none M2 - Lisbon, Portugal ER -
