Abstract

A pattern recognition technique, the linear learning machine
method, has been used to determine structure-activity relationships
for certain steroids. The steroids used in this study were classified into two categories according to their observed partition coefficient and a correlation made with certain substructural descriptors. The linear learning machine method was employed to calculate a suitable decision surface that would classify each steroid into its correct category. The resulting structure-activity relationship and the relative contributions of the various structural variables are discussed, and a comparison made with resultsobtained from a study using a different approach.
