Preferred Label : correlation analysis;
IUPAC acronym : QSAR;
IUPAC definition : The use of empirical correlations relating one body of experimental data to another,
with the objective of finding quantitative estimates of the factors underlying the
phenomena involved. Correlation analysis in organic chemistry often uses linear free-energy
relations for rates or equilibria of reactions, but the term also embraces similar
analysis of physical (most commonly spectroscopic) properties and of biological activity.;
