A Statistical Analysis of Weights in Composite Qol Indices
Editor's Note: In a recent article published in Sociological Methods and Research, Michael Hagerty and Ken Land study the statistical foundations of how to construct composite or summary indices (e.g., Quality of Life indices) for a social unit (e.g., cities, states, nations) that will be endorsed by a majority of its citizens. Since this problem is of central importance to the Social Indicator...

15 صفحه اولComparison of alternative relative weights for diagnosis-related groups
During this study, we investigated the extent to which diagnosis-related group (DRG) relative weights based exclusively on charge data differ from DRG weights constructed according to the methodology used in deriving the original relative weights for the Medicare prospective payment system (PPS). The PPS operating cost weights were based on a combination of cost and adjusted charge information ...
متن کاملRobustness Properties of Poverty Indices
Drawing on recent work concerning the statistical robustness of inequality statistics we examine the sensitivity of poverty indices to data contamination using the concept of the influence function. We show that poverty and inequality indices have fundamentally different robustness properties, and demonstrate that an important commonly used subclass of poverty measures will be robust under data...
متن کاملRank Robustness of Composite Indicators
Many common multidimensional indices take the form of a ‘composite indicator’ or a weighted average of several dimension-specific achievements. Rankings arising from such an index are dependent upon an initial weighting vector, and any given judgment could, in principle, be reversed if an alternative weighting vector were employed. This paper examines a variable-weight robustness criterion for ...
