Key words: empirical dependence, trend, permeability, Exell.
Tests on artificial arrays and real petrophysical data shown that the program Exell at the construction of a number of non-linear trends averages the values not the quantities Y themselves, but some of their functions (usually f -1 (Y)). Calculations based on these trends may produce biased estimates of the expectation Y for each X. For example, the trend of exponential dependence of permeability on porosity, constructed in the program Exell, averages not permeability at a given value of porosity, but values of the permeability logarithm. Ways to exclude such deviations are proposed and tested.
