“…Prediction of retention times in RPLC using a QSRR approach coupled with an ANN (i.e., the chemometric tool used to relate analyte molecular descriptors to observed retention times (see Figure ), in this case, is an ANN) has been applied quite frequently during the review period, e.g., refs , , , , and − . These publications generally apply a similar approach, with some variations in the number and nature of the molecular descriptors used as the input layer of the ANN and also the architecture of the ANN itself (i.e., the number of neurons in input, hidden, and output layers of the ANN).…”
