An interactive computer system has been developed for the convenient application of pattern recognition techniques to chemical problems. The system includes subsystems to perform the following functions: graphical input of molecular structures for the generation of files of structures stored as connection tables; file handling and revision; development of descriptors from molecular structure connection tables for pattern recognition analysis; prior feature selection and preprocessing; discriminant development; feedback feature selection. The system is modular, allowing its execution on a relatively small computer and allowing the user to add or delete routines easily.
