JRC Statistical Audit of the ICT Development Index
The JRC was invited to statistically audit the 2023 ICT Development Index developed by The International Telecommunications Union which aims to assess economies on their level of meaningful and universal connectivity as defined by the United Nations. The audit covers the data quality and coverage, correlation structure and uncertainty in scores due to methodological assumptions, which were all found to be more than adequate. The developers have implemented JRC-COIN guidelines on outlier treatment, missing data imputation and created an index with a low level of uncertainty in the final scores. The JRC-COIN concludes that the ICT Development Index is statistically robust and reliable.
