MATRIX METHODS FOR ANALYZING PROPERTIES OF BOTANICAL SAMPLES

摘要

This invention relates to computational methodologies for improving the selection, testing, quality control, and manufacture of herbal compositions, and to help guide the development of new herbal compositions and identify novel uses of existing herbal compositions. More specifically, this invention relates to a process of encoding two or more biological and/or chemical data into a matrix fingerprint, and the statistical/probabilistic manipulation of such matrix fingerprints for the testing and improvement of herbal compositions.
