Hello everyone, Who could be useful for this problem. I am a biologist and in my ecology researches I try to forecast what the evolution in the number of animal species will be provided there is an interrelation with other living organisms. Example: In a pond we find 4 species of living organisms : A, B, C, D, In monthly surveys we observe if their number increased, decreased, or remained constant thus assessing them respectively 1, 2, X. After 10 observations the result will be: 1 1 1 2 1 2 1 X X 2 for specie A 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 2 for B 1 2 1 X 1 2 2 2 1 1 for C 2 1 2 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 for D What would the next sequence of number will be ? There always is a law which is non-visible to the eye but identifyable through a system. Is there a software available able to work this out ?. Thanks. Marco
