<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The analysis of securities is an essential element of investment. It is a complex and, very frequently, long-lasting process.

Additionally, in securities analyses taxonomic methods are more frequently used, which allows for the evaluation of the securities quality through the synthetic analysis of statistical economic and financial indicators. Methods of linear arrangement used to assess the companies' fundamental strength are based on the economic and financial indicators.
