then the data were input in the TCM inheritance support system and the composing principles were analyzed by using data-mining methods
such as revised mutual information
complex system entropy clustering and unsupervised hierarchical clustering. Result: Based on the analysis of 150 prescriptions
the frequency of each herb and the association rules among the herbs were used
49 core combinations and 29 new prescriptions are mined from the database. Conclusion: Professor YAN Zheng-hua is good at soothing the liver and regulating qi to relieve stomachache. TCM inheritance support system can be used to analyze clinical experiences of senior TCM doctors.
