  "term": "Autocorrelation vector",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mathematical representation used in cheminformatics to encode structural information about a molecule, particularly its two-dimensional (2D) connectivity. It describes the correlation of a molecular property, such as atomic charge or electronegativity, between atoms separated by a certain number of bonds. This vector is employed in quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies.",
