Semi-Correlations for Building Up a Simulation of Eye Irritation

The OECD recognizes that data on a compound's ability to treat eye irritation are essential for the assessment of new compounds on the market. In silico models are frequently used to provide information when experimental data are lacking. Semi-correlations, as they are called, can be useful to build up categorical models for eye irritation. Semi-correlations are latent regressions that can be used when the endpoint is expressed by two values: 1 for an active molecule and 0 for an inactive molecule. The regression line is based on the descriptor values which serve to distribute the data into four classes: true positive, true negative, false positive, and false negative. These values are applied to calculate the corresponding statistical criterion for assessing the predictive potential of the categorical model. In our model, the descriptor is the sum of what are termed correlation weights. These are defined by optimization using the Monte Carlo method. The target function of the optimization is related to the determination coefficient and the mean absolute error for the training set. Our model gives results that are better than those previously reported for the same endpoint.
