When multifactorial processes are analyzed, it is most rational to use the methods of multidimensional statistical analysis, including the major components methods. This method is rather new in epidemiological surveys. Its advantage is that it may be used to get information that is difficult derived by other ways. Noteworthy is the versatility of the method, which lies in that the problems of analysis, prediction, and classification (stratification) of temporal series are solved by using actually the same techniques. How to apply the major components method are considered by using an example of investigating the general trends in the development of an epidemic tuberculous process in a specific area. Statistical data on tuberculosis morbidity in the areas of the Novosibirsk Region were employed as the initial material.
在分析多因素过程时，使用多维统计分析方法，包括主成分分析法是最为合理的。这种方法在流行病学调查中相当新颖。其优点在于可用于获取其他方式难以得到的信息。该方法的通用性值得注意，即通过实际相同的技术来解决时间序列的分析、预测和分类（分层）问题。本文以调查特定地区结核流行过程发展的总体趋势为例，探讨如何应用主成分分析法。新西伯利亚地区各区域的结核病发病率统计数据被用作原始资料。
