Class StabilizationPlusChargeDescriptor

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.openscience.cdk.qsar.descriptors.atomic.StabilizationPlusChargeDescriptor
All Implemented Interfaces:
IAtomicDescriptor, IDescriptor

@TestClass(value="org.openscience.cdk.qsar.descriptors.atomic.StabilizationPlusChargeDescriptorTest")
public class StabilizationPlusChargeDescriptor
extends Object
implements IAtomicDescriptor

The stabilization of the positive charge (e.g.) obtained in the polar breaking of a bond is calculated from the sigma- and lone pair-electronegativity values of the atoms that are in conjugation to the atoms obtaining the charges. The method is based following [Unknown BibTeXML type: Saller85]. The value is calculated looking for resonance structures which can stabilize the charge.

This descriptor uses these parameters:

Name Default Description
maxIterations 0 Number of maximum iterations

getDescriptorNames

@TestMethod(value="testNamesConsistency")
public String[] getDescriptorNames()
Description copied from interface: IDescriptor
Returns an array of names for each descriptor value calculated.

Many descriptors return multiple values. In general it is useful for the descriptor to indicate the names for each value.

In many cases, these names can be as simple as X1, X2, ..., XN where X is a prefix and 1, 2, ..., N are the indices. On the other hand it is also possible to return other arbitrary names, which should be documented in the Javadocs for the decsriptor (e.g., the CPSA descriptor).

Note that by default if a descriptor returns a single value (such as ALOGPDescriptor the return array will have a single element

Specified by:
getDescriptorNames in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
An array of descriptor names, equal in length to the number of descriptor calculated..
