摘要
The main issue discussed in the paper is the application of qualitative analysis techniques when short data samples are available at the initial stage of experiments carried out to study behaviors of agricultural plant species under different environmental conditions. The proposed techniques are described on the examples of two tasks: analyze behaviors of chemical elements in plant species irrigated with treated wastewater (on the example of Brocoli cabbage), as well as in plant species cultivated near the highway (on the example of Lycopersicum species). The system of ecological interactions is decomposed into individual subsystems with sufficiently small number of variables describing concentrations of elements. The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) is applied to obtain the regressions between variables within subsystems. The Qualitative Description based on signs combinations of differences for a regression function is employed to qualitatively analyze the relationships among variables, both within individual subsystems and within the system in whole. This approach makes it possible to identify main behavior features of individual objects/relationships between objects, classify behaviors according to different criteria of similarity/distinction, provide feature matching, etc. The obtained results then can be used to design the next-stage experiments and construct more comprehensive models of plant species behaviors.
