The evaluation of the similarity of the voivod-ships’ orderings obtained by means of different methods

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study presented in the paper is to verify the similarity of the voivodships’ ordering obtained by means of elements of the multiple indicator matrix and by means of linear ordering methods with and without the pattern of development. These methods differ in the normalization formulas and the measures of the distance from the pattern of development. Kenadall’s tau coefficient was applied to the evaluation of the orderings similarity. Its significance was the base for not rejecting the hypothesis about the similarity of the orderings. The basis of the ordering is the level of the realization of priorities of the National Development Strategy 2010-2015 in Polish voivodships in 2012.
