Research on the Selection of Innovation Compound Using Possibility Construction Space Theory and Fuzzy Clustering
Songhua Xie, Dehua Li, Hui Yu Nie · 2009
Chinese medicine includes a large number of fuzzy concepts and fuzzy phenomena, which has led to great difficulties for study of traditional Chinese medicine. In this paper, the mathematical methods are used to quantify fuzzy concepts in drugs and prescription. We describe the process of innovation formulations in Chinese medicine based on the possibility construction space theory (PCST) and put forward the method of single drugs optimization selection using fuzzy clustering. Experimental results show that conclusion is consistent with the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Clustering results can fractionize sets in the possibility construction space, which can help to make creative thinking the final convergence of answer to the question and get the useful innovation compound.
