Method for Predicting Treatment Classes Using Animal Behavior Informatics

A method of generating an electronic behavioral database of a plurality of stored treatment class signatures wherein the signatures are characteristic of at least one treatment class comprising

• (i) collecting behavioral data for a plurality of known treatments from animals administered one or more of said known treatments and wherein said known treatments are members of at least one class of treatments;
• (ii) using a computer to define said signatures for said treatment classes by segregating said behavioral data and by correlating features of said behavioral data with said known treatment class members;
• and
• (iii) storing said signature information in a computer.

A method of generating an electronic behavioral database of a plurality of stored treatment class signatures wherein the signatures are characteristic of at least one treatment class comprising

• (i) collecting behavioral data for a plurality of unknown treatments from animals administered one or more of said unknown treatments and wherein said unknown treatments are members of at least one class of treatments;
• (ii) using a computer to define said signatures for said unknown treatments by segregating said behavioral data and by correlating features of said behavioral data with said unknown treatment class members;
• and
• (iii) storing said signature information in a computer.

An electronic behavioral database of a plurality of stored treatment class signatures wherein the signatures are characteristic of at least one treatment class where said behavioral database is constructed by the steps comprising

• (i) collecting behavioral data for a plurality of known treatments from animals administered one or more of said known treatments and wherein said known treatments are members of at least one class of treatments;
• (ii) using a computer to define said signatures for said treatment classes by segregating said behavioral data and by correlating features of said behavioral data with said known treatment class members;
• and
