Abstract
The information carried by EAS of the energy range 10(14) - 10(17) eV is limited by significant fluctuations of the shower development, insu fficient experimental sampling and uncertainties of the detector respo nse. Additional uncertainties arise from different simulation procedur es and statistical methods used for inferring the results. We propose to combine an advanced EAS simulation program like CORSIKA with the AN I multivariate statistical analysis package for an event-by-event anal ysis and for a standardization of the inference from EAS data. We illu strate the technique for simulated results of two different detector l ocations: ANI at a mountain altitude and KASCADE at sea level.
