Measuring and Understanding Complex Phenomena Indicators and their Analysis in Different Scientific Fields /

Indicators are more and more applied to describe and analyze complex systems. Typical examples: Innovation potential of nations, child-well being, Environmental health, poverty, chemical pollution, corruption of nations. The task is: How can a system of indicators be defined in order to fulfill the...
