Abstract
Versions of the invention are directed to computer-based methods, apparatus and software (programs) for fast, dynamic programming and recursive partitioning techniques to segment data, especially real-world data, into data structures for display as nodal trees. These techniques and displayed data in segmented form have numerous applications, especially for the analysis and understanding of real-world data. Some particular applications are in the area of computational high throughput screening of molecular drug (or pharmaceutical) candidates using a quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) approach. Another particular application is in the areas of pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics.
Claims68
A computer-based Segmentation/Recursive Partitioning process or method for generating a nodal tree or equivalent data structure and displaying the nodal tree on a monitor or equivalent device or placing the nodal tree in or on a computer readable medium or transmission signal, wherein the Segmentation/Recursive Partitioning process uses one or more special dynamic programming segmenting algorithms.
A method as in 16, wherein each data object is a human being or tissue from a human being, and each descriptor is (a) a combination of one or more genotypes at one or more polymorphisms or (b) a combination of one or more alleles at one or more polymorphisms or (c) a combination of one or more haplotypes, and the response for each object is a phenotypic characteristic.
A computer readable medium containing a computer software program for controlling a computer-based Segmentation/Recursive Partitioning process or method for generating a nodal tree or equivalent data structure and displaying the nodal tree on a monitor or equivalent device or placing the nodal tree in or on a computer readable medium or transmission signal, wherein the Segmentation/Recursive Partitioning process uses one or more special dynamic programming segmenting algorithms.
An apparatus, wherein the apparatus includes a computer, wherein the apparatus practices a computer-based Segmentation/Recursive Partitioning process or method for generating a nodal tree or equivalent data structure and displaying the nodal tree on a monitor or equivalent device or placing the nodal tree in or on a computer readable medium or transmission signal, wherein the Segmentation/Recursive Partitioning process uses one or more special dynamic programming segmenting algorithms.
A data structure generated an apparatus, wherein the structure is in, or on a computer readable medium or transmission signal, and wherein some data of the structure are functionally interrelated, wherein the apparatus includes a computer, wherein the apparatus practices a computer-based Segmentation/Recursive Partitioning process or method for generating a nodal tree or equivalent data structure and displaying the nodal tree on a monitor or equivalent device or placing the nodal tree in or on a computer readable medium or transmission signal, wherein the Segmentation/Recursive Partitioning process uses one or more special dynamic programming segmenting algorithms.
