'''Selective Properties of the GMDH Criteria for Inductive Modeling'''. V.S.Stepashko '''Abstract'''. ''The problem of construction (structural identification) of optimum model on the basis of a short data sample in the class of structures linear in parameters is investigated. The choice of a model structure having minimum variance of the forecasting error, or the noise-immunity model, is accepted as a primary objective of the problem solution. The features and regularities of the optimum model construction depending on the noise level and the sample volume are investigated; efficiency of the GMDH external criteria in this problem is studied.'' '''Keywords'''. Inductive modelling, GMDH, forecasting error, noise-immunity model, optimal complexity.
