COMPARATIVE INDICATOR ANALYSIS BASED ON AGGREGATED DATA IN THE CONTEXT OF NEEDS AND INTERPRETATIVE POSSIBILITIES IN A TEMPORAL APPROACH.

Purpose: The aim of the work was to demonstrate the interpretation possibilities offered by the presentation of prepared information, which is the result of analytical work and influences the final assessment resulting in the perception of the studied phenomena or the state of the studied object, but also indicates potential or possible interpretational distortions, i.e. potentially erroneous recommendations. Design/methodology/approach: A temporal approach to the issue of comparative indicator analysis that allows for the demonstration of interpretational distortions requires aggregated data sets that are necessary for the correct conduct of inference activities, which translates into the perception of the examined object or issue. Findings: The analysis of the existence of interdependencies or their absence is conditioned by both the time period and reliable data, hence the structured considerations conducted in the subsequent stages of the analytical comparative work will allow for the demonstration of existing similarities, differences or problems. Social implications: Indicator comparative analysis is a tool for collecting information about an object or phenomenon, taking into account the broader context, i.e. society, economy or state of infrastructure. This gives the possibility of comparing the studied object based on the background, enabling conclusions and recommendations. Originality/value: Limiting the distortions in interpretation of the phenomena studied allows us to predict directions of development based on the background, i.e. references to the environment and identified trends, and by making future states more probable, propose final assessments that translate into recommendations or procedures.
