Can StarDrop models be exported into my own applications?
Yes, StarDrop’s Model Server includes a REST API by which any StarDrop Model (up to and including our ADME QSAR…
Can I import external data sets into StarDrop and/or integrate my own custom models and algorithms, including third-party solutions?
Yes, StarDrop is highly customisable and can be extended to integrate both external data sources and third-party computational models or…
For QSAR models, why is the 2C9 pKi a continuous model but 2D6 is categorical?
This is due to a difference in data quality. The CYP2D6 model is categorical due to an uneven distribution in…
Which preclinical species models are covered in StarDrop and why?
The preclinical species models covered in the Metabolism module are rat, mouse and dog. These preclinical species were covered due…
How can I calculate descriptors using Auto-Modeller?
To calculate descriptors on the current data set, click the Calculate descriptors on the current dataset button within the Auto-Modeller…
Where can I get the list of descriptors calculated by StarDrop?
A list and description of the descriptors used by the Auto-Modeller is available in Appendix 17.2 of the StarDrop Reference…
What papers are available for published by StarDrop users and included the results of Auto-modeller?
We have published several papers using the methods in the Auto-Modeller. They are: In most cases, our users apply the…
Will StarDrop parse out the greater than or less than signs?
For example, I realised after the fact that the data contains a continuous value (1.23, 34.35, etc) but also “>100”.…
Does your model-building workflow detect outliers?
Auto-Modeller doesn’t currently detect outliers when building models, it is dependent on a user’s own judgement. The Gaussian Processes methods…
Is there a way to restart and clear the queue of jobs submitted by the Auto-modeller?
Please check with your internal I.T team with admin access to the server. They can run the followi:ng commands “/etc/init.d/StarDrop_amg…
Do the ADME models learn from our data?
No, StarDrop’s ADME QSAR model will not learn from your data. However, if you want to build ADME models based…
How can we use our in-house data to make predictions?
All of the models in StarDrop’s ADME QSAR module are rigorously validated using external, independent test sets. You can find…
How do I find the uncertainty for each ADME QSAR model prediction?
Every model prediction is associated with an estimate of its confidence. You can see these by clicking on the ‘show…
The arrow of pKa calculations is greyed out. How can I run the pKa models?
For the pKa models, the arrow is greyed out until you select some rows in your dataset. The pKa calculations…
Do the ADME models get updated when new data is available?
The models are retrained on an ad hoc basis. The models we provide are intended to cover as much of…
How do I build a model based on my data?
In addition to the StarDrop Models, it is possible to create your own models from your data with the Auto-Modeller…
How can we integrate our custom models with StarDrop?
It is possible to add custom models scripted in Python to StarDrop using the StarDrop model server. From the StarDrop…
How can I share or centralise my models?
For sharing custom Python models on the model server, these should be saved to the folder /usr/share/StarDropExtensions. After copying the…
