journal contribution
posted on 2004-03-01, 00:00 authored by M A Mamedov, G W Saunders, John YearwoodJohn YearwoodThe Australian Adverse Drug Reaction Advisory Committee (ADRAC) database has been collected and maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. In this paper we study a part of his database (Card2) which contains records having just reactions from the Cardiovascular group. Drug-reaction relationships are presented by a vector of degrees which shows the degree of association of a drug with each class of reactions. In this work we examine these relationships in the classification of reaction outcomes. A modified version of the fuzzy derivative method (FDM2) is used for classification.
