Applied Optimization 99, 365-385 (2005). Summary: We describe a new method for modelling dynamical systems assuming that the information about the system is presented in the form of a data set. The main idea is to describe the relationships between two variables as influences of the changes of one variable on another. The approach introduced was examined in data classification and global optimization problems.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1078.90003].
