What Role Do Computational Models Play in Weight of Evidence?
Computational models are increasingly important in the weight of evidence framework, offering predictive insights based on existing data. These models, including quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models, can predict the toxicological properties of chemicals based on their molecular structure and other known parameters. They provide a valuable tool for integrating disparate data and can help fill in the gaps where empirical data might be lacking or difficult to obtain.
