Classification toolbox for MATLAB: new release
In this new release (5.4), class modelling methods (SIMCA, Potential Functions – Kernel Density Estimators, UNEQ) can now be calculated on a specific target class. The toolbox can be downloaded here.
23rd EuroQSAR
The 23rd EuroQSAR Symposium, entitled “Integrative Data-Intensive Approaches to Drug Design” will take place in Barcelona, September 20-24, 2020: https://www.euroqsar2020.org/
Kohonen and CPANN toolbox for MATLAB: new release
In this new release, batch training has been optimised and now it is faster than previous versions (computational time has been decreased on about 60%). RMSE (squared residuals between sampels and weights of winning neurons) and the average changing of the topological distance between previous and updated winning neurons can be plotted as a function of epochs during training.
The toolbox can be downloaded here.
