METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCREENING DRUGS FOR PREDICTORS OF QUANTITATIVELY MEASURED EVENTS

摘要

Methods and systems for screening drugs for predictors of quantitatively measured events are provided. At least one predictor of an event is selected and data for a plurality of drugs are retrieved. The data for each of the drugs have an associated quantitative measure of the event. One or more relationships are statistically analyzed between the selected predictor and the event to determine one or more statistical associations among the relationships, using the quantitative measure of the event for each of the plurality of drugs. The statistical associations are determined without any a priori associations between the predictor and the event. The statistical associations are presented and include presentation of a measure of statistical significance.
