The support vector machine (SVM), as a novel type of learning machine, was used to developa classification model of carcinogenic properties of 148 N-nitroso compounds. The sevendescriptors calculated solely from the molecular structures of compounds selected by forwardstepwise linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used as inputs of the SVM model. Theobtained results confirmed the discriminative capacity of the calculated descriptors. The resultof SVM (total accuracy of 95.2%) is better than that of LDA (total accuracy of 89.8%).
