Abstract
Syndromes and medications in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have been studied by advanced information technology in the modernisation of TCM, promoting the development of knowledge discovery in TCM. In this paper, based on the method of Attribute Partial Order Structure Diagram (APOSD), syndrome-symptom APOSD and prescription-herb APOSD are constructed for spleen yang deficiency syndrome, which is a common syndrome in TCM. The common symptoms and specific symptoms of spleen yang deficiency syndrome are extracted from the syndrome-symptom APOSD. The association rules among herbs in the prescriptions for treating spleen yang deficiency syndrome are visualised on the prescription-herb APOSD, and herb pairs and herb groups are extracted. Compared with Apriori algorithm, APOSD not only obtains important association rules, but also shows the compositions of prescriptions in the diagram. APOSD provides a new scientific research method for TCM.
