We discuss properties of the autocorrelation descriptor, a topological descriptor encoding both molecular structure and physico-chemical properties of a molecule. We introduce two random graph models for molecules and show that this descriptor may exhibit unwanted correlation properties, making the generated data unusable for structure-activity relationship studies. This shortcoming can easily be eliminated by centering properties, facilitating subsequent statistical analysis.
