Online Published on 13 February, 2024. Abstract A structure/retention indices relationship was searched for 59 PAHs while promoting the simple linear regression by genetic algorithm MOBIDYGS software, the structural parameters being calculated with the software Spartan and DRAGON. Among about a hundred of one-regression models gotten, we selected the one that present best values of the prediction parameter (Q2) and of the determination coefficient (R2). The robustness of obtaining model were illustrated using different techniques: leave-many-out, external-validation, randomization test, applicability domain. Top Keywords Molecular descriptors, PAHs, Software, Structure/ retention indices, Genetic algorithm. Top |
