Bayesian regularized artificial neural networks (BRANNs) have the potential to solve a number of problems which arise in QSAR modeling such as: choice of model; robustness of models; choice of validation set; size of validation effort; and optimization of network architecture.
Abstract
We describe the use of Bayesian regularized artificial neural networks (BRANNs) in the development of QSAR models. These networks have the potential to solve a number of problems which arise in QSAR modeling such as: choice of model; robustness of model; choice of validation set; size of validation effort; and optimization of network architecture. The application of the methods to QSAR of compounds active at the benzodiazepine and muscarinic receptors is illustrated.

Beware of R2: Simple, Unambiguous Assessment of the Prediction Accuracy of QSAR and QSPR Models

TL;DR: This paper clarifies some apparent confusion over the use of the coefficient of determination, R(2), as a measure of model fit and predictive power in QSAR and QSPR modeling and recommends a clearer and simpler alternative method to characterize model predictivity.

Can we learn to distinguish between "drug-like" and "nondrug-like" molecules?

TL;DR: A Bayesian neural network is used to distinguish between drugs and nondrugs and it is proposed to use the models to design combinatorial libraries to supplement standard diversity approaches to library design.
