Does a novel classification algorithm using coefficient C(fs) accurately diagnose floating and sunken pulse qualities compared to oriental medical doctors in volunteering subjects?
A novel classification algorithm using coefficient C(fs) showed up to 69% accuracy in diagnosing floating and sunken pulse qualities compared to paired oriental medical doctors.
