Recording of Session #1: SPI Methodology.

Thanks to all the participants of our first online training in Surrey.

Description: The calculation itself may involve a number of iterations and adjustments, taking into account that results of statistical procedures may require the reassessment of indicators and transformation of data. This session will guide us through all the steps required to calculate the index. The index is calibrated to reflect the best possible outcomes versus the worst, so that scores will direct users to actionable focus points to improve social progress. The scale of SPI is 0-100, with 100 being the best. Utopia and dystopia settings for each indicator requires substantial effort and additional research. Often, national guidelines or international targets such as the SDGs can be used.

Here are also the access to the materials used and presented during class:
