Paper reviewed the methods of yield component analysis. Mostly the methods taking into account a form of relationship between yield and ifs components were considered; the elaboration presented interpretation possibilities of the methods and their statistical appropriateness (without considering complex mathematical formulas). Some of presented methods are just of historical significance, while the others being quite new and not well known. Moreover, sequential and non-sequential cases of the components development were treated independently. Besides the discussion on the methods, some recommendations regarding the choice of appropriate method to yield component analysis were given. Finally it was concluded that there are no methods hoth convenient in interpretation and appropriate from the statistical point of view.
