Research on core Chinese materia medica and herb compatibility in syndrome differentiation and treatment of insomnia based on CNM-centrality algorithm / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Using node centrality evaluation algorithms and clustering algorithms in complex networks, this paper selects insomnia as study object, and explores the core Chinese materia medica (CMM) and CMM compatibility regularity of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Firstly, we construct the CMM network model of insomnia, and discover the core CMM nodes in this network using single-index evaluation algorithms. Then, the CMM network can be divided by the clustering algorithm CNM-centrality based on node centrality, and the compatibility regularity among CMM can be found accurately.
