The main goal of this work was to find dependencies between Fourier coefficients, which were developed by light curve fitting with Fourier polynomials. The light curves were acquired from the ASAS database (All Sky Automated Survey). In this statistical research it was necessary to sort and modify these data, because light curves of eclipsing binaries are just part of a bigger database, which contains the light curves of pulsating variable stars, novas etc. It was required to phase and normalize all of our light curves, that it could be possible to use a program to fit light curves with Fourier coefficients. Thereafter, we were looking for relations between Fourier coefficients.
