description: Two novel and highly accurate hybrid models were developed for the prediction of the flammability limits (lower flammability limit (LFL) and upper flammability limit (UFL)) of pure compounds using a quantitative structure�property relationship approach. The two models were developed using a dataset obtained from the DIPPR Project 801 database, which comprises 1057 and 515 literature data for the LFL and UFL, respectively. Multiple linear regression (MLR), logarithmic, and polynomial models were used to develop the models according to an algorithm and code written using the MATLAB software. The results indicated that the proposed models were capable of predicting LFL and UFL values with accuracies that were among the best (i.e. most optimised) reported in the literature (LFL: R2 = 99.72, with an average absolute relative deviation (AARD) of 0.8; UFL: R2 = 99.64, with an AARD of 1.41). These hybrid models are unique in that they were developed using a modified mathematical technique combined three conventional methods. These models afford good practicability and can be used as cost-effective alternatives to experimental measurements of LFL and UFL values for a wide range of pure compounds. © 2019 El-Harbawi et al.
