Toxicity endpoint:
Read across procedure
- Identify relevant fragments (significant correlation with toxicity)
TODO list of fragments, number
- Calculate similarities (weighted cosine similarity, correlation coefficients = weights)
- Identify neighbors (particles with more than 0.95 similarity)
- Calculate prediction (weighted average from neighbors, similarities = weights)
Future development
- Validation of predictions
- Applicability domain/reliability of predictions
- Accuracy improvements:
- additional data
- feature selection
- similarity calculation
- predictions (local regression models)
- Usability improvements:
- additional data (extension of applicability domain, additional endpoints and chemistries)
- inclusion of ontologies
- descriptor calculation directly from core and coating chemistries
