This paper tries to explore the optimum variable selection strategy for Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression using a model dataset of cytoprotection data. The compounds of the dataset were classified using K-means clustering technique applied on standardized descriptor matrix and ten combinations of training and test sets were generated based on the obtained clusters. For a particular training set, PLS models were developed with a number of components optimized by leave-one-out Q2 and then the developed models were validated (externally) using the test set compounds. For each set, PLS model was initially constructed using all descriptors (variables). The variables having least standardized values of regression coefficients were deleted and the next model was developed with a reduced set of variables. These steps were performed several times until further reduction in number of variables did not improve Q2 value. In each case, statistical parameters like predictive R2 (R2pred), squared correlation coefficient between observed and predicted values with (r2) and without () intercept and Root Mean Square Error of Prediction (RMSEP) were calculated from the test set compounds. In case of all ten sets, Q2 values steadily increase on deletion of variables while R2pred values do not show any specific trend. In no case, the highest Q2 and highest R2pred appear in the same trial, i.e., with the same combinations of variables. This suggests that from the viewpoint of external predictability, choice of variables for PLS based on Q2 value may not be optimum. Moreover, a clear separation of r2 and r02 curves in some sets suggests that such models may not be truly predictive in spite of acceptable R2pred values. Another observation is that coefficient of determination R2 for the training set is more immune to changes on deletion of variables than the validation parameters like Q2 and R2pred. Finally, a new parameter rm2 has been suggested to indicate external predictability of QSAR models.read more

Quantitative Structure–Property Relationship Study to Predict Speed of Sound in Diverse Organic Solvents from Solvent Structural Information
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of solvent structural parameters on the speed of sound in chemical solvents was investigated through a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR), which was employed to select the most relevant subset of descriptors and then to develop the model.

Beware of q2
TL;DR: 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.

PLS regression methods
TL;DR: In this paper, the mathematical and statistical structure of PLS regression is developed and the PLS decomposition of the data matrices involved in model building is analyzed. But the PLP regression algorithm can be interpreted in a model building setting.
