The Quantitative Structure-Biodegradability Relationships (QSBR) studies were performed by the multiple linear regression (MLR), principal component regression (PCR) and back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN), respectively. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the training and validation sets of the BP-ANN model are 0.1363 and 0.0244, the mean absolute percentage errors (MAPE) are 0.1638 and 0.0326, the squared correlation coefficients (R^2) are 0.9853 and 0.9996, respectively. The results show that the BP-ANN model achieved a better prediction result than those of MLR and PCR. In addition, some insights into the structural factors affecting the aerobic biodegradation mechanism were discussed in detail.展开更多
