商品描述
This book provides a systematic and integrated approach to construct measures of complex and multidimensional concepts called composite indicators. One of the most pressing needs of scientists and policy makers is to measure phenomena that are important to our lives in society using numbers, to observe their evolution over time, and to analyse the relationships between them in order to understand the complex reality and decide on the right actions to achieve specific goals. Many socio-economic phenomena, as well as ecological, biological and of other sciences, are multidimensional and, to be measured, require the use of statistical-mathematical techniques that facilitate their reading and use for studies and analyses. This book is a guide to the knowledge and application of statistical tools suitable for the construction of "optimal" composite indicators, i.e. indicators that provide the most accurate measure of multidimensional reality. The book is aimed at all those - statisticians, sociologists, economists, and policy makers - who wish to construct composite indicators to measure and evaluate the complex reality that surrounds us.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了一種系統性和整合性的方式來構建稱為複合指標的複雜和多維概念的度量。科學家和政策制定者最迫切的需求之一是使用數字來測量對我們社會生活重要的現象，以觀察它們隨時間的演變，並分析它們之間的關係，以理解複雜的現實並決定採取正確的行動以實現特定目標。許多社會經濟現象，以及生態學、生物學和其他科學，都是多維的，為了進行測量，需要使用統計數學技術來促進其閱讀和用於研究和分析。本書是關於適合構建“最佳”複合指標的統計工具的知識和應用指南，即提供對多維現實最準確度量的指標。本書的目標讀者是所有希望構建複合指標以測量和評估圍繞我們的複雜現實的統計學家、社會學家、經濟學家和政策制定者。
