Information about positions and velocities of stars that will be gained in the era of GAIA is crucial for determining dynamical structure in our Galaxy. The distribution function of all component objects in our Galaxy is fundamental for describing its dynamics. However, only the distribution function of observable stars is obtained from space astrometry observations, and it is therefore necessary to develop theoretical studies of how to construct the distribution function of all matter including dark matter and unobservable stars using astrometric data of observable stars. This procedure falls into three categories.
