3. Attempt to define IM: what is it?
IM is MGUA / GMDHIM is a technique for model self-organizationIM is a technology for building models from noisy
dataIM is the technology of inductive transition from
data to models under uncertainty conditions:small volume of noisy dataunknown character and level of noise inexact composition of relevant arguments (factors)unknown structure of relationships in an object

4. IM destination: what is this for?
IM is used for solving the following problems:Modelling from experimental dataForecasting of complex processesStructure and parametric identificationClassification and pattern recognitionData clasterizationMachine learningData MiningKnowledge Discovery

Basic principles of the GMDH as an inductive method:
1. generation of variants of the gradually complicated structures of models
2. successive selection of the best variants using the freedom of decisions choice 3. external addition (due to the sample division) as the selection criterion

Main concept:Self-organizing evolution of the model of
optimal complexity under uncertainty conditionsMain result:
Complexity of the optimum forecasting model depends on the level of uncertainty in the data: the higher it is, the simpler (more robust) there must be the optimum model Main conclusion:
GMDH is the method for construction of models with minimum variance of forecasting error
