Deep Ranking Analysis by Power Eigenvectors (DRAPE): A Study. . .

All the methods agree to identify Costa Rica (CRI) as the most sustainable
American country, while Guatemala (GTM), Haiti (HTI) and Bolivia (BOL) are in
the last position for SAR, DOM, UTI and CPWR, respectively using equal weights
for the indicators. With a proportional weighting scheme, all the methods locate
Guyana (GUY) in the last position.
Fig. 5 CPWR ranking and standardized regression coefficients for equal (a and c) and proportional (b and d) weights initializations for Africa. CPWR values are represented on the vertical
axis; H stands for the standardized entropy (the coefficient of determination R 2 is equal to 0.82 for
the equal weights and 0.77 for the proportional ones)
