Theme 7: Analysis of concentration, differentiation and similarity of distributions

Analysis of unequality of distribution. The coefficients of localization and concentration. Usage of the coefficients of unequality in the analysis of uneveness in the distribution of living standards of populetion (decile coefficient of differentiation of the population by the level of incomes, coefficients of assets, the Gini coefficient).

Evaluation of similarity of structures of different populations. Ensuring comparability of structures of one object in the dynamics (secondary group) and intensity of estimation of structural shifts.

Essence and objective analysis of variance. Types of variances. Rule of decomposition of dispersions.

Theme 8: Analysis of the intensity of dynamics

Essence and features of dynamic rows. Methodological principles of analysis of dynemic rows. Types of dynamic rows. Average level of the row. Absolute and relative characteristics of intensity of dynamics: absolute growth, growth, growth rate, the absolute value of 1% of growth; their relations. Mean absolute growth and the mean growth rate. The avaluation of acceleration (deceleration) of development. Comparative analysis of dinamic rows: the coefficients of elasticity and advance, the terms of their use.

Analysis of trends and forecasting. Components of dynamic rows: trend, seasonal and random fluctuations. The essence of development trend, methods of its detection and analysis. Seasonal fluctuations and methods of their measurement.

Theme 9: Index method

The essence of indexes in the analysis of socio-economic phenomena. Individual and aggregate indexes. Methodological principles of built of aggregate indexes. Aggregate form of indexes as the main form of indexes. Weights. Relations between conjugate indexes. Decomposition of absolute increase of the indecator by factors.

Average weighted indexes, the conditions of their use. Bringing weighted indexes to aggregate forms.

Indexes averages: of variable composition, of fixed structure and of structural changes; their relations.

The role of indexes in spatial comparative analysis. Territorial indexes, rules of their construction. Usage of averages, standard or arbitrary weights.
