✦ Synopsis
The evaluation of the data obtained during the behaviour tests always leads to the problem of multiple correlation, very often with non-linear dependencies on the target. A11 mathematical and statistical procedures that h a r e been used so far are based on the assumption of an equation for the desired correlation for which parameters and related statistical equivalenta are determined eventually. The MODAK system applied here (MODAK ==algorithms of modelling for the calculation of multi-dimensional non-linear mathematical models) breaks down a complex correlation into individual dependencia in a mathematical and statistical way and eelecta suitable equation8 for each of them independently and determines the correeponding parameters. The numerical example evaluates data of behaviour testa on rats.
Fikst results obtained on the correlations of various behaviour teate indicate both the possibility of selecting suitable tests independent of each cther and a better interpretation of the observed patterns of behaviour taking into account the interrelations between the tpsta.
In addition, MODAK is a method which can be applied as a matter of course in a general way to all cases which call €or the reduction and analysis of data occurring in process and system analysis and in the evaluation of test results requiring statistical modelling. So far, MODAK applications range from engineering sciences t o medicine.
