These techniques now play an increasing role in drug design and chemical risk assessment. New molecular descriptors based on three-dimensional structures incorporate a range of classical approaches, including regression and PLS analysis, as well as new nonlinear approaches, such as neural networks and support vector machines. Three-Dimensional QSAR addresses the scope and limitations of different modeling techniques using case studies from pharmacology, toxicology, and ecotoxicology to demonstrate the utility of each technique"--Provided by publisher ER -
