MLR plus Validation 1.3 (Last updated on 12 June 2017) tool develops QSAR model using MLR technique and calculates internal, and external validation parameters of the developed model [1,2]. Further it judges the test set predictions based on the actual prediction errors as GOOD, MODERATE and BAD [3]. It also checks Golbarikh and Tropsha model acceptibillity criteria [4], and optionally can determine applicability domain (AD) employing two available methods i.e., Standardization Approach [5] and Euclidean-based Method [6]. User may also perform Y randomization.
To Download and Run the Program
Click on the download link above (it will direct you to google drive) and then press "ctrl + S (Windows) or cmd+S (Macs)" to save it as a zip file. Extract the .zip file and click on the .jar file to run the program.
Note: The program folder will consist of three folders "Data", "Lib" and "Output". For user convenience, the user may keep input files in the "Data" folder and may save the output file in the "Output" folder."Lib" folder consists of library files required for running the program. Check the format of training and test sets input files (.xlsx/.xls/.csv) before using the program (sample files are provided in Data Folder). *Manual is provided in the program folder.
File Format: Compound number (first column), Descriptors (Subsequent Columns), Activity/Property (Last column)
