1398	 Robot Data Screening A Solution to Multivariate Type Problems in the Biological and Social Sciences	 A new approach is outlined toward the solution of the type of multivariate problem that is found usually in the biological and social sciences as well as in medicine. This approach uses a logical rather than a statistical criterion by which variables are grouped into a deterministic model. Algorithm are developed by which some variables are kept on for further analysis while others are eliminated. Criteria for the acceptance of a variable as well as the termination of the searching process are derived from information theory.
