PANKEY, programs for identification

PANKEY is a package of programs that provide specialized tools for problems of diagnosis or identification in biology and medicine. Programs are included for processing taxonomic data that are suitable to use when preparing monographs, handbooks, floras or faunas, in which species, diseases or other taxa are described and identified. There are also an expert interactive program for specimen identification (on-line diagnosis) with images, conversion routines that prepare data for numerical taxonomy (clustering and cladistics), and a data editor designed to work with taxonomic data. Includes a 160+ page user manual.

The PANKEY programs use data in version 3 of the DELTA standard format (or a binary version of the DELTA format). This allows a very flexible free-format input with no restrictions about the kinds of characters which can be expressed or to the description of variability.

The system consists of the following programs:

CHANAL - character analysis

DELPAUP1 - convert for cladistic analyses

DESCRIP3 - generate taxonomic descriptions

KCONI - interactive key construction

KEY3M3 - non-interactive key construction

KPRINT - generate printed key

MATCH - identification by matching

ONLIN7 - online identification

SC3 - generate similarity coefficients

SPD1 - generate diagnostic descriptions

DEDIT - DELTA editor
