Introduction
The Quaternary is a period when the geological presence has developed.The Quaternary Period is characterized by regular alternation of major environmental changes with the intensity of glacial/interglacial. • The glacial is an event of glaciations characterized by expansion of continental and
mountain glaciers, global marine regression, global reduction of vegetation biomass and expansion of terrestrial sedimentary environments.
• The interglacial is an event of interglaciations characterized by minimal glaciations, global marine transgression, global growth of vegetation biomass and an intensive soil formation ont the most of land.
The polyglacism theory deals with common variability of marine and terrestrial sedimentation features in relation to the variability of the external physical environment that indicate the global impacts of multiple oscillations glacial/interglacial. The aim of the study was using of the logistic regression for better description of assumed polyglacial relationships.

Results and discussion
Exploratory linear regression of basic Quaternary sedimentation core properties. y – receptor; x – predictor; F –Fischer-Snedecorov’s testing criterion; t – Student’s t-test criterion; r ‒ correlation coefficient; SC – Scott’s test on multicolinearity; C-W – Cook-Weisberg’s test on heteroscedasticity; J-B – Jarque-Berrae’s test on normality of residues; Wa – Wald’s test on autocorrelation.

Summary
• Changes in the basic soil properties of a loess/paleosol sequences reliably do not indicate changes in the intensity of glacial/interglacial cycles between the Middle and Upper Pleistocene.
• Changes in the basic soil properties of a loess/paleosol sequences have been reflecting climatic changes statistically more significantly than the deep-sea sedimentation since the Upper Pleistocene (cycle eem‒visla) .
• Correlations of atmospheric CO2 and surface temperatures are greater than correlation of other polyglacial phenomenas.
• Linear regression revealed on the assumption that the dependences of soil properties were smaller than polyglacial relations of other environmental indicators.
• Logistic regression suggested that temporal variability in feedbacks between climatic change predictors and properties of forming sediments may be cause of the lack of a simple Quaternary climatic change indication.
