• Abstract summary: We present conditional Gaussian process models to predict ordinal outcomes from chemical experiments. A novel aspect of our model is that the kernel contains a scaling parameter, that controls the strength of the correlation between elements of the chemical space. We present a genetic algorithm for the facilitation of chemical discovery and identification of important features to the compound's efficacy.

• Abstract: With the proliferation of screening tools for chemical testing, it is now possible to create vast databases of chemicals easily. However, rigorous statistical methodologies employed to analyse these databases are in their infancy, and further development to facilitate chemical discovery is imperative. In this paper, we present conditional Gaussian process models to predict ordinal outcomes from chemical experiments, where the inputs are chemical compounds. We implement the Tanimoto distance, a metric on the chemical space, within the covariance of the Gaussian processes to capture correlated effects in the chemical space. A novel aspect of our model is that the kernel contains a scaling parameter, a feature not previously examined in the literature, that controls the strength of the correlation between elements of the chemical space. Using molecular fingerprints, a numerical representation of a compound's location within the chemical space, we find that accounting for correlation amongst chemical compounds improves predictive performance over the uncorrelated model, where effects are assumed to be independent. Moreover, we present a genetic algorithm for the facilitation of chemical discovery and identification of important features to the compound's efficacy, based on two criteria derived from the proposed model. Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed methods. Our model is demonstrated on a hazard classification problem of organic solvents.

  We introduce an active learning approach that discerns underlying cause-effect relationships through strategic sampling. This method identifies the smallest subset of the dataset capable of encoding the most information representative of a much larger chemical space. The identified causal relations are then leveraged to conduct systematic interventions, optimizing the design task within a chemical space that the models have not encountered previously.
