Statistical Composite Indicator for Estimating the Degree of Information Society Development

The development of information and communication technologies and the rapid development of the IT sector have greatly contributed to the development of society in general. In recent years, the techniques for measuring the development of information and communication technologies have begun to rise. Subject of this study is to measure the development of the countries’ ICT infrastructure, using statistical composite index. In order to measure the development, we will use composite IDI index, with special emphasis on the improvement of the index. In addition to the existing IDI method of ranking, we will use the I-distance. A comparative analysis of the created and the existing indexes shall be given.
