| Abstract [eng] |
The catastrophe is an instant qualitative change in a dynamical system caused by dwindling changes in one of the parameters value. The main purpose of this work is to investigate the dynamics of the swallowtail catastrophe depending on the values of parameters. This catastrophe could be used as a model of leadership emergence in working groups. The sixth and tenth grade schoolchildren of the KTU engineering lyceum were asked to participate in a team session. Children had to fill a form concerning the character traits of their team members. During the process of the teamwork the data collected was analyzed using statistical methods such as analysis of variance, correlation analysis and hypothesis verification for the equality of probability distributions. The best model of analyzed data has been found by using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. |
