The disclosed embodiments relate to data mining methods for determining economically valuable cause effect relationships between objects and properties associated with objects using co-occurrence frequency measurements of semantic terms characterizing observations of properties, effects or behaviors of objects in different environments and using these measurements as object descriptors in calculations determining object similarities. Specifically, these methods may be used to identify new indications of medicines, identify biomarkers associated with disease, identify biomarkers associated with drug effects, quantify disease diagnosis, identify novel drug targets, identify pharmacologic equivalencies of medicines, identify pharmacologic equivalencies between medicines and traditional medicines, identify pharmacologic equivalencies between medicines and Natural products, identify equivalencies between alternate medical procedures, identify risk benefit profiles of medicine combinations, identify targets for antibodies, identify synergies between medicines, identify Side effects of medicines, identify risks of experimental medicines, identify functions of biological networks.
