摘要： Efficient evaluation of biotoxicity of organics is of vital significance to resource utilization and environmental protection. In this study. toxicity of 110 alcohol compounds to tadpoles of Rana temporaria is adopted as the dependent variable and 1388 physiochemical parameters (features) calculated by PCLIENT are used for representing each compound. A feature selection pipeline with three steps is developed to refine the feature subset: 282 features that significantly correlated with biotoxicity of chemical compounds are preliminarily selected via the maximum information coefficient (MIC); 138 descriptors that have positive contribution to the model's performance are reserved after a support vector regression (SVR) based backward elimination; 18 descriptors are finally selected via a forward selection process that integrated minimal redundancy maximal relevance (mRMR), MIC and SVR. In terms of feature subsets with different numbers of variables, quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) models are built using multiple linear regression (MLR), partial least square regression (PLS) and SVR, respectively. The independent prediction evaluation index. Q(2), increases from -74.787, 0.824 and 0.868 to 0.892. 0.878 and 0.940, for the three regression models, respectively. Results suggest that nonlinear feature selection methods involved in MIC and SVR can effectively eliminate irrelevant descriptors. SVR outperforms classical statistical models to QSAR modeling on high-dimensional data containing nonlinear relationship between features. The methods proposed in this study have a potential application in the QSAR research field such as biotoxicity compounds.
