This book provides an overview of statistical
chemometric methods used in the rapidly changing arena of drug discovery. It deals with physicochemical molecular descriptors, modern statistical methods to study structure-property and structure-activity relationships, including three-dimensional QSAR approaches and the concepts of molecular diversity. All scientists who investigate
quantitative structure-activity relationships in medicinal, agricultural, or
environmental chemistry will benefit from this book.Key Features* Presented in a theoretical as well as practical manner* Provides an excellent introduction and recent overview of the field* Addresses a rapidly changing area in a timely
