Weighting methods in the construction of area deprivation indices

This study applies and compares several weighted average (WA) methods and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for the construction of composite area-based deprivation index. The WA methods are based on weights that depend on standard deviation, correlation and data entropy. This paper also proposes t...
