Dear Allstat users. I recently applied a methodology to develop an index
in the education sector. The index was based on the answers collected
from a questionnaire applied to students. The final values for the index
were standardized (z-values).
I can provide more details about the construction of the index itself
but my question now is about how to work with this index. The issue that
I have in my mind is how to develop a composed index based on the values
of the index itself in combination with the values of other index (an
economic index that is based on poverty levels definition: extreme poor,
poor and non-poor)
What I'm needing is a methodology that allows me to combine both values
and produce some kind of score, that after defining a specific cut-off
point allows me to define beneficiaries of some programs.
Since there are many aspects that are missing in my methodology, I think
the best way is to specify them:
1. Do I need to convert the values of the standardized index of
education into score values? How can I do that? Is there any proven
methodology that I can follow?
2. Same question as 1 but applied to economic index values.
3. How to combine the values of the two indexes? multiplicative process?
additive process? I have no idea about these topics
Thanks for your time.
