Classification of antimicrobial peptide using diversity measure with quadratic discriminant analysis

Accurate classification of antimicrobial peptides according to their biological activities will facilitate the design of novel antimicrobial agents and the discovery of new therapeutic targets. In this work, an excellent algorithm of Increment of Diversity with Quadratic Discriminant analysis (IDQD) was proposed to classify antimicrobial peptides with diverse biological activities.
