In this thesis, a leading-order QCD analysis of structure functions in neutrinonucleon
interactions is performed. From the CCFR nucleon structure function
data, the QCD parameter Lambda has been extracted. This measurement also
corresponds to a measurement of the strong coupling constant. Two fits to the
data have been performed, the nonsinglet-only fit and the singlet-nonsinglet
combined fit. The result for Lambda was found to be 289 +62
¡ / 59 § / 76 MeV, where
the errors are statistical and systematical, respectively. This result is compared
to the world-wide measurements of this quantity. In order to verify the agreement,
also the logarithmic slopes of the QCD model and the structure function
data are calculated and compared.
