Total order ranking (TOR) strategies offer a robust alternative to traditional statistical methods for data analysis, especially with uncertain data. This study introduces a genetic algorithm-variable subset selection (GA-VSS) approach for developing effective TOR models.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Cheminformatics
  • Environmental science

Background:

  • Total order ranking (TOR) strategies provide a mathematically grounded approach for data analysis and modeling.
  • These methods are particularly useful for handling data with uncertainties, offering an alternative to statistical techniques like multilinear regression (MLR).
  • TOR models establish relationships between experimentally measured attributes and calculated model attributes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a genetic algorithm-variable subset selection (GA-VSS) approach for identifying optimal variables in TOR models.
  • To develop predictive TOR models as an alternative to conventional quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methods.
  • To apply the developed TOR model to analyze polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds based on their physicochemical properties.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized elementary methods of discrete mathematics for total order ranking.
  • Implemented a genetic algorithm-variable subset selection (GA-VSS) for variable selection.
  • Evaluated model performance using the Spearman's rank index and compared with experimental rankings.

Main Results:

  • The GA-VSS approach successfully identified relevant variable subsets for developing predictive TOR models.
  • The developed TOR model demonstrated effectiveness in analyzing PCB compounds.
  • Models based on selected variables showed good correlation with experimental rankings.

Conclusions:

  • The GA-VSS approach is an effective method for variable selection in the development of TOR models.
  • TOR models present a viable alternative to QSAR and traditional statistical methods, especially for datasets with inherent uncertainties.
  • The study successfully applied TOR modeling to understand the environmental impact of PCBs through their physicochemical properties.
