Machine learning and MCDM approaches for the study of benzenoid
hydrocarbons through eigenvalues-based graphical indices
Abstract
In recent times, machine learning being an exciting area, has attracted
a lot of studies for its ability to foresee complex chemical and
biological properties of chemical compounds used in drug design. This
article proposes a machine-learning based quantitative
structure-property relationship(QSPR) model for benzenoid hydrocarbons
and their physical properties through eigenvalues-based graphical
indices. Benzenoid hydrocarbons play a crucial role in drug design and
pharmaceutical chemistry due to their stability, aromaticity, and
ability to participate in various biological interactions. To validate
the results, machine learning technique is applied to predict the
properties using various graphical indices. Further, to rank the best
hydrocarbon MCDM technique namely SAW is adopted. From the analysis, it
is obvious that the best predictive graphical index is Laplacian energy
for the property polarizability and the best hydrocarbon is
Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene.
