An Improved FP-Growth Algorithm and its Application in Tongue Diagnosis of Traditional Chinese Medicine

At the beginning, the paper analyzed the characteristics of clinical diseases database in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tongue diagnosis. Secondly, the paper presented improved FP-growth mining algorithm, which was usable to extract the diagnosis rules. The algorithm was realized by using VC++ 7.0 and SQL Server 2000 as the development tools, and applied it to the case database successfully. The application result make clear that the algorithm can be accurate more and fitter.
