Composite indicator

Etc.

<p>A composite indicator is formed when [Pagelink infos="Indicators|individual indicators"] are compiled into a single index, on the basis of an underlying model of the multi-dimensional concept that is being measured (e.g. competitiveness, e-trade or environmental quality).
</p><p>Composite measures are used when single indicators cannot adequately capture such multi-dimensional concepts. Ideally, a composite indicator should be based on a theoretical framework / definition, which allows [Pagelink infos="Indicators|individual indicators"] / [Pagelink infos="Indicators|variables"] to be selected, combined and [Pagelink infos="Weighing|weighted"] in a manner which reflects the dimensions or structure of the phenomena being measured.
