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. date: 2004 event_title: European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering, ESCAPE14 event_location: Lisbon, Portugal event_dates: 16th-19th May 2004 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE official_url: http://www.deb.uminho.pt/escape14/PDFs/PPDp011.pdf related_url_url: http://www.deb.uminho.pt/escape14/ related_url_type: org citation: Patrinos, Panagiotis and Alexandridis, Alex and Afantitis, Antreas and Sarimveis, Haralambos and Igglesi-Markopoulou, Olga Development of nonlinear quantitative structure-activity relationships using RBF networks and evolutionary computing.
