Abstract

Chinese medical prescriptions usually have one or more herbs in common, enabling the intra-relation of the prescriptions to be analysed. Computer science provides the methodology with which the analysis of the polypharmacy-structure of the chinese medical presciption can be undertaken, and it is that methodology with which we are concerned in this report.Data should be collected in following 4 aspects: 1) the subject as doctor, school, country, etc. 2) classical and modern publications. 3) individual herbs contained in the prescriptions. 4) classical and modern concepts of disease.Such data should then be analysed in either of 2 ways: 1) M-D-SCAL (Kruskal), quantification of the fourth type (Hayashi), when similarities are made. 2) quantification of the third type (Hayashi) for 2-mode data. And graphing of the results will facilitate.Thanks to the technologic progress, calculations are made by micro computer.
