Analytical research methods are the finding of exact quantitative relationships between a number of dependent factors. A feature of the techniques is the use of a strict algorithm of actions, deterministic information. Equally important is the uniqueness of the established dependence. These methods are widely used in various fields. Thus, this or that method of science is used in the development of projects and plans, the evaluation of financial, industrial and economic activities. The areas of application are human and information resources, parametric studies of control systems.
Analytical method. Tasks
All real processes and systems belong to the category of probabilistic systems. Evaluation and analysis of variables is carried out through appropriate techniques. Among the main tasks for which the analytical method is used, it should be noted:
- Development of statistical (probabilistic) models of random systems and processes.
- Finding laws for the distribution of quantities and determining the nature of phenomena.
- Assessment of reliability, stability and risk in the operation of the system.
Operations Research
Model study of systems to optimize their performance is carried out by appropriate methods. In the process of research, the most appropriate way to solve managerial problems is revealed within the framework of limited financial, labor, material, and technical resources. The theory itself originated in the 1940s. At that time, it became necessary to solve tactical and strategic tasks. With the development of the theory, the corresponding analytical method began to develop. It should be noted that network planning techniques are of particular importance in the field of management. They made it possible to find a convenient form of analysis, modeling and description of complex projects and works that include several stages.
Mathematical logic
One or another analytical method used in this area is the use of probabilistic functions, disjunctions and conjunctions, operations with them in order to evaluate and study the complex organizational structure of the system. Logical statistical techniques deserve special attention. They allow you to describe a structure of varying complexity using the functions of mathematical logic, while creating a probabilistic model of its activity for each component.
Simulation
This method is a process of describing an object, process or structure through a set of informational and mathematical structures that characterize the subject in a certain degree of detail, reproducingfunctioning of the structure with the help of computational and software tools. This technique is always an experiment. It is carried out through the use of special technologies that allow us to analyze likely alternatives, evaluating their disadvantages and advantages. Modeling is considered to be a fairly effective, safe method.
