Abstract: The aim of this paper is the analysis of the bias contained in star catalogues, these errors can be obtained by means of kinematics or dynamical methods. In this paper a general method, suitable when the sample is not homogeneous is presented.

Keywords: Approximation of functions, star catalogues, reference frames, numerical algorithms
