The QSPR workflow 1 Create Training Set • Get Structures and Data • Validate Structures Descriptors • Calculate Descriptors • Initial Data Analysis Build Models • Model Building • Model Management 2 Prerequisite: a set of compounds with known molecular descriptors and properties (features). 3 Model Validation and Prediction • Model Validation • Candidate Generation • Model-based Prediction 4
QSPR provides an understanding of the effect of structure on property. 1 Allows to make predictions leading to materials with properties optimized for the intended application. 2 may be used for a fast initial screening to identify candidate materials for further, more time consuming, modeling or experimental studies. 3
