Abstract
We have applied the method of factor analysis to the problem of reducing the number of the observing parts required for the calculation of the average skin temperature of the human body.
We have analyzed the observed data on the twenty-two parts adding to them the air temperatme and the age which are considered to influence the skin temperature. It has been thus, found that the observed values were rather well collected at every part, and that air tempetatuie is actually one of the factors which controlled skin temperature.
