Or index, a measure of comparison of the two states of the same phenomenon. Unlike conventional relative values, which are calculated on the grounds of an isolated, indexes may include a system of signs. This means that the object index analysis and are structurally complex phenomenon. When analyzed by comparing the levels of the studied phenomenon in time, we speak about indexes dynamics in space - territorial indexes, and so on. D.
