  • Employed mutual information for optimizing model size and feature selection.
  • Implemented two simulation strategies: using published peptides only, and using published peptides plus newly collected sequences.

    • Main Results:

    • The generalized linear indicator regression model significantly outperformed the multilayer perceptron model.
    • Building models with newly collected sequences in addition to published peptides yielded superior prediction performance compared to using published data alone.
    • Mutual information effectively aided in optimizing the complexity of the regression models.

    Conclusions:

    • Generalized linear indicator regression offers a powerful and accurate method for predicting HCV protease cleavage sites.
    • Expanding training datasets with novel sequences substantially improves predictive model performance.
    • This approach provides a valuable tool for advancing HCV research and therapeutic strategies.
