MARCH-INSIDE methodology was applied to the prediction of the bitter tasting threshold of 48 dipeptides by means of pattern recognition techniques, in this case linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and regression methods. The LDA models yielded a percentage of good classification higher than 80% with the two main families of descriptor generated by this methodology (95.8% for self return probability and 83.3% using electronic delocalization entropy). The regression models can explain more than 80% of the experimental variance of the independent variable. Two regression models were obtained with R-2 values of 0.82 and 0.88 for the whole data and the data without two outliers, respectively; having a standard deviation of 0.27 and 0.23. The predictive power of the obtained equations was assessed by the Leave-One-Out cross validation procedures, giving the same percentages of good classification as in the training set, in the LDA models, and yielding values of q(2) of 0.78 and 0.86 in the regression model, respectively. The validation of this methodology was also carried out by comparison with previous reports modeling this data with other well-known methodologies, even 3-D molecular descriptors.
