Area of Science:

  • Multidimensional signal analysis
  • Biostatistics
  • Occupational medicine

Background:

  • Analyzing multidimensional signals from experimental studies on living systems presents challenges.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture complex signal variations across multiple recording periods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel two-stage methodology for analyzing multidimensional signals.
  • To identify general trends and informative signal components (intra-period analysis).
  • To assess the influence of external factors on discriminant signal components (inter-period analysis).

Main Methods:

  • A multidimensional descriptive statistical approach is employed.
  • Key methods include correspondence analysis and hierarchical clustering.
