A method for the analysis of a component of a medical sample with the aid of an autoanalyzer, in which the sample is reacted with a reagent system and a physically measurable quantity X resulting from the reaction of the sample with the reagent system is measured in order to determine at least one measured value R for a specified sample and in which this at least one measured value R is further processed with the aid of a processing unit in a processing stage in order to determine an analytical result A. In the processing stage of the invention, use is made of the results of a neural net training, in which, for a number of standard samples for which the analytical result A is known, at least one measured value R, or a measurement result derived from several measured values R.sub.i, is applied to the input of a neural net.
