TLDR
It is argued that the high value of LOO q2 appears to be the necessary but not the sufficient condition for the model to have a high predictive power, which is the general property of QSAR models developed using LOO cross-validation.Abstract:
Validation is a crucial aspect of any quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling. This paper examines one of the most popular validation criteria, leave-one-out cross-validated R2 (LOO q2). Often, a high value of this statistical characteristic (q2 > 0.5) is considered as a proof of the high predictive ability of the model. In this paper, we show that this assumption is generally incorrect. In the case of 3D QSAR, the lack of the correlation between the high LOO q2 and the high predictive ability of a QSAR model has been established earlier [Pharm. Acta Helv. 70 (1995) 149; J. Chemomet. 10(1996)95; J. Med. Chem. 41 (1998) 2553]. In this paper, we use two-dimensional (2D) molecular descriptors and k nearest neighbors (kNN) QSAR method for the analysis of several datasets. No correlation between the values of q2 for the training set and predictive ability for the test set was found for any of the datasets. Thus, the high value of LOO q2 appears to be the necessary but not the sufficient condition for the model to have a high predictive power. We argue that this is the general property of QSAR models developed using LOO cross-validation. We emphasize that the external validation is the only way to establish a reliable QSAR model. We formulate a set of criteria for evaluation of predictive ability of QSAR models.read more

TL;DR: The optimized molecular structures of 23 derivatives represented by 1497 types of DRAGON descriptors were subjected to linear regression analysis, and the derived QSAR was shown to be predictive and achieved a rational guide for the proposal of new candidate structures whose activities still remain unknown.

Docking and 3D-QSAR studies of acetohydroxy acid synthase inhibitor sulfonylurea derivatives
Kunal Roy,Somnath Paul +1 more
TL;DR: Docking and three dimensional quantitative-structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies on acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS) inhibitor sulfonylurea analogues with potential herbicidal activity showed that bulky substitution at the R1 position may enhance AHAS inhibitory activity.

Estimation of influential points in any data set from coefficient of determination and its leave-one-out cross-validated counterpart
TL;DR: This article uses R2 and Q2 in a reversed aspect to determine uncommon points, i.e. influential points in any data sets, and proposes an (approximate) F test on (1 − Q2)/(1-− R2) term to quickly pre-estimate the presence of influential Points in training sets of models.

QSPR study on melting point of carbocyclic nitroaromatic compounds by multiple linear regression and artificial neural network
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative structure-property relationship study was performed to correlate descriptors representing molecular structures to the melting point of carbocyclic nitroaromatic compounds, and the obtained models with six descriptors showed good predictive power.
