On Variable Zagreb Indices
Ante Miličević, Sonja Nikolić · Institutional Repository of the Ruđer Bošković Institute (Ruđer Bošković Institute) · 2004
A novel variant of the Zagreb indices introduced in 1972, called the variable Zagreb indices, is presented.Their performance in the QSPR modeling of lower (C 3 -C 8 ) alkane boiling points is compared with the original Zagreb indices and their modifications.The variable Zagreb indices produce better single-descriptor models and participate in better two-and three-descriptor models.
