Proposition of Synthetic Measure

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to propose a new method for construction of synthetic variable. We analyzed distance between object and pattern (antipattern) in relation to sum of all distances between the pattern (antipattern) and other objects. This allowed us to characterize position of a region among others. The described measure is limited. Diagnostic variables do not require normalization or conversion to stimulants. Its main advantage is comparability of analyzes carried out for various years. The proposed method was illustrated by an empirical example. The values of measurement were compared with those obtained by Hellwig’s method. They were similar but not identical. Then two methods were compared in terms of correctness. None of them had a significant advantage.
