Summary
Using large data bases and computer aided technologies (CA Analysis, CA Interpretation, ADA, EDA) creates the need for more sophisticated and faster accessible statistical models and methods. One possible solution is to organize them in the same way as it proved to be succesful with the data. This can be done in different variants, e. g. as a special part of existing data banks or as seperate MMB either on the meta level or containing the real models and methods.
MMB are expected to ease the acces to models and methods in all phases of statistical analysis so helping the end user to analyze large data sets faster, more reliable and more complex. They are computerized tools using modern information processing technologies.
The paper describes the steps to organize MMB and the use of them which could lead to knowledge bases as part of expert systems.
