Rough Sets in the Analysis of the Structure–Activity Relationships of Antifungal Imidazolium Compounds

Rough Set Theory and Decision Rules in Data Analysis of Breast Cancer Patients

“…Let us also remark that the interpretation of too many possible reducts by practitioners is often impossible. In medical applications, it is not however necessary to look for all reducts and one is often satisfied by computing a limited subset of reducts and/or choosing the most satisfactory subset according to some criteria (see, e.g., discussions in [19,20,28,24].…”

“…Similarly to previous medical applications [19,20,27,24,30,28,29] the following elements of the rough set theory are used:…”

“…An interesting discussion on the use of symbolic machine learning methods in the medical data analysis is presented in [17]. Yet another nonstatistical approach, which has been already successfully used in the analysis of medical and biological data, are rough sets [28,19,20,27,24,30,29,10]. According to the discussion presented in [27], the rough set theory and rule induction approach is particularly well suited:…”

“…This allowed us to select the subset of attributes. The methodology used in this part of the analysis followed the general methodological schema presented in [20,18,24,27].…”

Synthesis and Bactericidal Characteristics of N-Alkyl-2-benzylaminopyridinium lodides.

“…The antimicrobial characteristics and bactericidal mechanism of various series of QACs (Csiba et al, 1987;Devinsky et al, 1991;Kourai et al, 1994b;Krysinski, 1990), including the derivatives of pyridinium salts (Devinsky et al, 1996;Kourai et al, 1994c;Krysinski, 1991;Okazaki et al, 1997aOkazaki et al, , 1997c, have been studied. The hydrophobicity of QACs (Kourai et al, 1995), the critical micelle concentration (Pavlikova-Moricka et al, 1994), and acidic dissociation constant (pKa) of the corresponding pyridines (Kourai et al, 1985) were measured to determine a quantitative structure-activity relationship.…”
