279
and E5 (less public debt) become relevant in the proportional weights initialization.
In general, using the proportional weighting scheme compared to the equal one,
economic wellbeing indicators have a higher coefficient, that is a higher influence on
the African sustainability ranking. For this reason, countries like Tunisia (TUN) and
Lesotho (LSO) decrease their ranking position switching from equal to proportional
weights initialisation.
Fig. 3 CPWR ranking and standardized regression coefficients for equal (a and c) and proportional (b and d) weights initializations for Europe. CPWR values are represented on the vertical
axis; H stands for the standardized entropy (the coefficient of determination R 2 is equal to 0.92 and
0.90 for the equal and proportional weight initializations, respectively)
