Estimation of Connections of Regional Indicators Quality of Life on Base of Structural Modeling. Viktor Artemenko

Abstract. Approaches to structural modeling are considered at an estimation of connections between the manifest and latent variables. These variables characterise efficiency of social and economic development of regions of Ukraine on the basis of criteria of quality of life of the population. Latent variables are presented as integrated indicators of quality of life. It is thus provided, that analyzed latent variables, in turn, can be connected among themselves. The process engineering of construction and the analysis of computer models is offered at an estimation of connections in indicators of quality of life of the population of regions of Ukraine with system STATISTICA are offered.

Keywords. Regional synthetic indicators of quality of life, analysis of path diagrams , confirmatory factor analysis, analysis of structural equation.
