Study Notes

Machine Learning Methods in Drug Classification

Linear discriminant analysis separates molecules into active and inactive classes, but may not completely separate the data points.
A linear discriminant analysis uses a discriminant function, a linear combination of independent variables, to compute the activity class for a molecule.
Feed-Forward Neural Network is a supervised learning method with layers of nodes and connections between them.
Each node in the Feed-Forward Neural Network exists in a state between 0 and 1, and the network must be trained before use.
Kohonen Network, an unsupervised learning method, creates regions containing similar nodes based on input data.
Each node in the Kohonen Network has an associated vector that corresponds to the input data, and the network creates regions containing similar nodes.
Decision trees provide interpretable rules to associate molecular features and descriptor values with the activity or property of interest.
Ensemble approaches involve the construction of collections of trees, such as Bagging trees and Random Forest, to classify new molecules using a majority voting mechanism.
Random Forest is an extension of bagging, where a small subset of descriptors is randomly selected at each node.
Boosting improves the performance for data points misclassified by its predecessor by giving more weight to such points.
Decision trees are used to classify unknown molecules by following a path through the tree according to the values of relevant properties.
Machine learning methods are used in drug classification to predict the activity class for new, unseen molecules, based on their molecular descriptors.
