DESCRIPTION For more information please see the UMLS::Association.pm documentation.

SYNOPSIS

use UMLS::Association::StatFinder; use UMLS::Association::ErrorHandler;

%params = ();

$statfinder = UMLS::Association::StatFinder->new(\%params); die "Unable to create UMLS::Association::StatFinder object.\n" if(!$statfinder);

my $cui1 = C0018563; my $cui2 = C0446516;

# calculate measure assocation my $measure = "ll"; my $score = $statfinder->calculateStatistic($cui1, $cui2, $measure);

INSTALL

            

              
              
To install the module, run the following magic commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
This will install the module in the standard location. You will, most
probably, require root privileges to install in standard system
directories. To install in a non-standard directory, specify a prefix
during the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage as:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/bridget
It is possible to modify other parameters during installation. The
details of these can be found in the ExtUtils::MakeMaker
documentation. However, it is highly recommended not messing around
with other parameters, unless you know what you're doing.
