Measuring innovation and innovativeness: a data-mining approach

We propose a new output-based approach to measure innovation in goods and services. This approach draws on formal context and concept analysis, a relatively recent mathematical field which lies at the crossroads of lattice theory, computer science and data analysis, and which is now widely used for data mining and knowledge discovery. The suggested metric can reveal innovation patterns and thereby support rigorous prescriptions for innovation management.
