Popis: Konstantin Momirović (1932-2004) had been an active contributor to both the theoretical and applied developments in multivariate data analysis from its early beginnings in 1960 until his sudden death in 2004. Some of his methodological contributions were published even after 2004. From the point of view of development of his ideas on multivariate data analysis, it is possible to recognize several phases. In the first, initialization phase, he worked on methodological topics as an individual assimilating and developing contemporary ideas. In the second phase, he influenced and became the originator and principal figure in the so called “ Zagreb Methodological and Multivariate Data Analysis Circle” at the University of Zagreb (Institute of Kinesiology at the Faculty of Physical Education and at the University Computing Centre - SRCE) where completely new ideas emerged. In the third phase he influenced and organized various productive groups of researchers around the Institute for Criminological and Sociological Research, and the Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Philosophy of University of Belgrade. Within these three periods some sub phases are recognized, as well. In each of these phases and sub phases several areas of interest are relatively easy to recognize. Evolution of some of the more influential ideas, algorithmic solutions and program implementations are demonstrated. Finally, his contributions and influences are divided in the same way as they are grouped and incorporated into the SPSS macro language coded library of seven hundred and sixty macro programs (Prot, F., A. Hosek, K. Bosnar, V. Luzar-Stiffler, V. Hljuz Dobric, Z. Bekić, M. Gredelj (2008)). This short overview is the core of a more elaborate presentation scheduled for Memorial Session: "Data Mining, Statistics and Biometrics" during the ITI 2008 30th Anniversary Conference at Cavtat.
