InChI version 1.06: now more than 99.99% reliable.

ABSTRACT: The software for the IUPAC Chemical Identifier, InChI, is extraordinarily reliable. It has been tested on large databases around the world, and has proved itself to be an essential tool in the handling and integration of large chemical databases. InChI version 1.05 was released in January 2017 and version 1.06 in December 2020. In this paper, we report on the current state of the InChI Software, the details of the improvements in the v1.06 release, and the results of a test of the InChI run on PubChem, a database of more than a hundred million molecules. The upgrade introduces significant new features, including support for pseudo-element atoms and an improved description of polymers. We expect that few, if any, applications using the standard InChI will need to change as a result of the changes in version 1.06. Numerical instability was discovered for 0.002% of this database, and a small number of other molecules were discovered for which the algorithm did not run smoothly. On the basis of PubChem data, we can demonstrate that InChI version 1.05 was 99.996% accurate, and InChI version 1.06 represents a step closer to perfection. Finally, we look forward to future releases and extensions for the InChI Chemical identifier.

Project description:BackgroundThe Hopkins Symptom Checklist in 25 items (HSCL-25) helps to assess anxiety and depression in Primary Care. Anxiety and depression show considerable overlap in primary care. This self-administrated questionnaire is valid, reliable and ergonomic in the original US version. We have translated it into French. The aim of this study was to estimate the test characteristics of the HSCL-25, in its French version (F-HSCL-25), by comparing it to the Present State Examination-9 French version (F-PSE-9) and by determining its internal validity and dimensions.MethodOutpatients from three French General Practice settings (rural, semi-rural and urban) were recruited: approximately 20,000 outpatients among 17 GPs. Two groups were formed: F-HSCL-25 ≥1.75 and F-HSCL-25 <1.75. A validated cut-off score of > 1.75 was considered to indicate a clinically relevant level of symptoms of depression and anxiety. In order to obtain two balanced groups, a different method of randomization was chosen for each group. The F-PSE-9 was randomly administered to 1 in 2 patients in the F-HSCL-25 ≥1.75 group, and to 1 in 16 in the (much larger) F-HSCL-25 <1.75 group. The diagnostic performance was assessed and the test results obtained from both groups were compared with their F-PSE-9 results.ResultsOf the 1126 patients who completed the F-HCL-25, 886 joined the F-HSCL-25 <1.75 group and 240 the F-HSCL-25 ≥1.75 group. The overall prevalence of depression, using the F-HSCL-25, was 21% in these medical practices. The diagnostic performance of the F-HSCL-25 versus the F-PSE-9, the external criteria were as follows: Positive Predictive Value (PPV) 69.8%, Negative Predictive Value (NPV) 87%; Sensitivity 59.1%, and Specificity 91.4%. The Principal Component Analysis showed that F-HSCL-25 is a one-dimensional tool (anxiety and depression dimensions combined) with a Cronbach Alpha of 0.93.ConclusionThe F-HSCL-25 is an appropriate diagnostic tool for anxiety and depression in primary care in France due to its high specificity and high NPV. The HSCL-25 scale has a high eigenvalue. This pilot study will be extended throughout Europe; however, preliminary evidence suggests that the HSCL-25 is a reliable and suitable diagnostic tool for primary care.

Project description:Background Accurately estimating the true richness of a target community is still a statistical challenge, particularly in highly diverse communities. Due to sampling limitations or limited resources, undetected species are present in many surveys and observed richness is an underestimate of true richness. In the literature, methods for estimating the undetected richness of a sample are generally divided into two categories: parametric and nonparametric estimators. Imposing no assumptions on species detection rates, nonparametric methods demonstrate robust statistical performance and are widely used in ecological studies. However, nonparametric estimators may seriously underestimate richness when species composition has a high degree of heterogeneity. Parametric approaches, which reduce the number of parameters by assuming that species-specific detection probabilities follow a given statistical distribution, use traditional statistical inference to calculate species richness estimates. When species detection rates meet the model assumption, the parametric approach could supply a nearly unbiased estimator. However, the infeasibility and inefficiency of solving maximum likelihood functions limit the application of parametric methods in ecological studies when the model assumption is violated, or the collected data is sparse. Method To overcome these estimating challenges associated with parametric methods, an estimator employing the moment estimation method instead of the maximum likelihood estimation method is proposed to estimate parameters based on a Gamma-Poisson mixture model. Drawing on the concept of the Good-Turing frequency formula, the proposed estimator only uses the number of singletons, doubletons, and tripletons in a sample for undetected richness estimation. Results The statistical behavior of the new estimator was evaluated by using real and simulated data sets from various species abundance models. Simulation results indicated that the new estimator reduces the bias presented in traditional nonparametric estimators, presents more robust statistical behavior compared to other parametric estimators, and provides confidence intervals with better coverage among the discussed estimators, especially in assemblages with high species composition heterogeneity.
