ADDITIVE FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THE PRODUCTION VOLUMES OF HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS SETS OF COMMODITIES WITH DISCRETE ODD FUNCTION OF THE MATHEMATICAL SIGNUM

Emil Hristov

Abstract: Based on clear and precise distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous statistical set of goods are compiled two different methodologies for additive factor analysis of the change in output volume in money terms for two compared years. The first methodology is about the difference in the volume of production of a uniform set of differences of two factor variables - the average price of all goods and their total natural amount for the entire aggregate. The second methodology is about the difference in the volume of production of the heterogeneous set of differences in prices of individual goods and their natural amounts. The overall similarity between the two methods is that the true and precise effects of the factor variables are measured with discrete odd function of the mathematical signum. It defines the algebraic signs of the net effects and the absence or presence of a joint effect with the appropriate algebraic sign.
The next article will present two similar methodologies for the more complex index factor analysis of production output which are output from the additive analysis methodologies.
