J. Pecka et R. Ponec, Simple analytical method for evaluation of statistical importance of correlations in QSAR studies, J MATH CHEM, 27(1-2), 2000, pp. 13-22
A new general method allowing to evaluate the statistical importance of ind
ependent correlations from multilinear QSAR models was proposed. The method
is applicable to any multilinear QSAR model involving N experimental point
s and M independent parameters. The application of this new method is demon
strated on several examples.
