The application of feed forward back propagation artificial neural networks with one hidden layer (ANN) to perform the equivalent of multiple linear regression (MLR) has been examined using artificial structured data sets and real literature data. The predictive ability of the networks has been estimated using a training/test set protocol. The results have shown advantages of ANN over MLR analysis. The ANNs do not require high order terms or indicator variables to establish complex structure-activity relationships. Overfitting does not have any influence on network prediction ability when overtraining is avoided by cross-validation. Application of ANN ensembles has allowed the avoidance of chance correlations and satisfactory predictions of new data have been obtained for a wide range of numbers of neurons in the hidden layer.
