The transition from traditional to modern concepts in geography requires multidimensional data sets to be taken into account. Apart from other methods of corresponding data processing an important role is played by the factor analysis, possibilities and limitations of which are analysed in the article. Attention is also paid to the data-analytical systems (especially BMDP) which make the multivariant methods easy to use.
