  High-throughput screening of compounds for biological activity is often a
 n important first step in the drug discovery process. From a statistical l
 earning perspective\, the results of screening process can be used to cons
 truct a model. Using various descriptors of molecular structure as inputs\
 , we seek to predict activity.  These descriptors can be easily calculated
 \, but the activity is the outcome of more expensive screening procedures.
   Screening results for a part of the library constitute a training set\, 
 which can be used to build a model to predict activity. This model enables
  'virtual screening' in which activity is predicted rather than measured. 
 This talk describes a number of recent models developed for such virtual s
 creening\, including mixture discriminant analysis\, decision trees\, near
 est neighbours\, and ensemble models.\n
