To summarize the similarity algorithm methods used in the analysis of fingerprints for traditional Chinese medicine in recent years through CNKI
SCIENCE DIRECT database retrieval. Twenty articles were found andNinenine kinds of similarity calculation methods were summed up including Nei coefficient and Improved Nei coefficient
distance coefficient
correlation coefficient
cosine of angle and other six improving similarity algorithm methods.The advantages and the advantagesand disadvantages of each method were listed. In practical work
similarity methods should be chosen according to their characteristics
in which way this technique would be applied to the quality control of TCM more appropriately.
