✦ Synopsis
The importance of the validation step in multiple linear regression of near-infrared spectroscopic data, after selection of wavelengths by a genetic algorithm, is investigated with the use of random variables. It is shown that in spite of a careful validation procedure, the GA can still select irrelevant variables. The effect is greatly reduced by applying a forward selection in the subsets selected by the genetic algorithm.

## Abstract Based on the quantitative structure‐activity relationships (QSARs) models developed by artificial neural networks (ANNs), genetic algorithm (GA) was used in the variable‐selection approach with molecule descriptors and helped to improve the back‐propagation training algorithm as well. T
