Formal Concept Analysis of Rodent Carriers of Zoonotic Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The technique of Formal Concept Analysis is applied to a dataset describing the traits of rodents, with the goal of identifying zoonotic disease carriers,or those species carrying infections that can spillover to cause human disease. The concepts identified among these species together provide rules-of-thumb about the intrinsic biological features of ...
