INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR CONSTRUCTING THE COMPOSITE INDICES FOR DATA OF DIFFERENT TYPES USED IN MEDICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Introduction. Information technologies used in medical and environmental researches often deal wiht huge amounts of information processing. These technologies allow us to identify and investigate previously hidden dependencies and interactions in complex environmental, medical and biological systems, and on the other hand, it is accompanied by the analysis of large data sets, some of which (sometimes most of them) have an uninformative (noisy) character. One of the ways of solving this problem are the methods of constructing composite indices (CI), i.e. complex indicators, which allow to perform an integral assessment of the state and functioning of ecological, medical and biological systems.
The purpose of the paper is to develop a generalized information technology for constructing composite indices for different types of data used in medical and environmental studies.
Results. Medical and ecological researches include two main components: analysis of the states of both human health and of the environment; in solving such problems it is necessary to evaluate and analyze the state of the bioobject according to the data of different types: quantitative, rank, binary and qualitative variables. The developed general information technology is oriented on supporting the solution of a wide range of medical and hygienic tasks and integrates various approaches to processing and analysing of data of different types. Proposed technology consists of four stages: the formation and initial analysis of an initial indicators set, the calculation and normalization for obtainig unnamed equivalents, the actual design of the composite indices, and their verification. The implementation of this technology makes it possible to compare data of different dimensions, determine the significance of specific characteristics in a general research totality, to evaluate the integral state and to classify the research objects.
Conclusion. The proposed information technology for the construction of composite indices based on data of different types: quantitative, rank, binary and qualitative variables, is an effective tool for determining and comparing the state of bioobjects of different nature, and its use makes it possible to avoid mistakes in the incorrect application of mathematical methods for processing medical and ecological information.
Keywords: information technology, composite indicators, processing medical and ecological quantitative, rank, binary and qualitative variables.
