Validation of counter propagation neural network models for predictive toxicology according to the OECD principles: a case study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The OECD has proposed five principles for validation of QSAR models used for regulatory purposes. Here we present a case study investigating how these principles can be applied to models based on Kohonen and counter propagation neural networks. The study is based on a counter propagation network model that has been built using toxicity data in fish fathead minnow for 541 compounds. The study demonstrates that most, if not all, of the OECD criteria may be met when modeling using this neural network approach.

Background & Objective: Mixed outcomes arise when, in a multivariate model, response variables measured on different scales such as binary and continuous. In a bivariate modeling, when there are mixed response variables, the common methods in classic statistics have shortcomings. This study aimed at designing an appropriate ANN model for modeling and predicting the bivariate mixed responses i...
متن کاملComparison of Efficiency for Hydrological Models (AWBM & SimHyd) and Neural Network (MLP & RBF) in Rainfall–Runoff Simulation (Case study: Bar Aryeh Watershed -Neyshabur)
For suitable programming and management of water resources, access to perfect information from the discharge at the watershed outlet is essential. In most watersheds, the hydrometric station is not available; then, different models are used to simulate the discharge within watersheds without data. The selection of preferred model for rainfall- runoff simulation depends to the purpose of modelin...
متن کاملEvaluation of Ultimate Torsional Strength of Reinforcement Concrete Beams Using Finite Element Analysis and Artificial Neural Network
Due to lack of theory of elasticity, estimation of ultimate torsional strength of reinforcement concrete beams is a difficult task. Therefore, the finite element methods could be applied for determination of strength of concrete beams. Furthermore, for complicated, highly nonlinear and ambiguous status, artificial neural networks are appropriate tools for prediction of behavior of such states. ...
متن کاملComparison of artificial neural network and multivariate regression methods in prediction of soil cation exchange capacity (Case study: Ziaran region)
Investigation of soil properties like Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) plays important roles in study of environmental reaserches as the spatial and temporal variability of this property have been led to development of indirect methods in estimation of this soil characteristic. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) provide an alternative by estimating soil parameters from more readily available soil data...
