Identification and classification of TCM syndrome types among patients with vascular mild cognitive impairment using latent tree analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Objective: To treat patients with vascular mild cognitive impairment (VMCI) using TCM, it is necessary to classify the patients into TCM syndrome types and to apply different treatments to different types. We investigate how to properly carry out the classification using a novel data-driven method known as latent tree analysis.
