affinitystrength
Affinitystrength is a general term used to describe the strength of the relationship or binding between two entities. It is represented as a nonnegative score that captures how closely related or interactive the pair is, depending on the domain.
In biochemistry and pharmacology, affinity strength refers to binding affinity between a ligand and its target.
In information science and network analysis, affinitystrength is used as an edge weight in an affinity graph.
Because affinitystrength is domain-specific, it is important to interpret it within context. Values are often normalized
Applications span drug discovery, where strong affinity hints at potent interactions; marketing analytics, where brand or
