Resumen:
We propose an algorithm for the search of an optimal set of descriptors from a pool of such regression variables. Our approach requires a smaller number of linear regressions than the full search and produces almost identical results. As an illustrative example we model the melting points of 30 quinoxalines derivatives by means of several subsets of 14 descriptors each, generated by the Dragon 5 evaluation version.
