R. Attias et M. Petitjean, STATISTICAL-ANALYSIS OF ATOM TOPOLOGICAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND MULTIVARIATE REPRESENTATIONS OF A LARGE CHEMICAL FILE, Journal of chemical information and computer sciences, 33(5), 1993, pp. 649-656
Statistical results on a large file are presented for a set of topolog
ical parameters. The distribution of skeleton atom neighborhoods is an
alyzed; it suggests a partition on atoms and contributes to the study
of generic aspects of concentric substructures. The bivariate distribu
tion (layer depth/number of atoms) extends the study to any depth. The
multivariate distributions, (number of R-extremal atoms)/(number of D
-extremal atoms)/(number of centers), and (number of atoms)/(number of
bonds)/(number of cycles), are then presented; they show clusters of
values and also empty ranges of values.
