Alguma informação sobre a qualidade de vida na inglaterra

I have recently been making extensive revisions in the area of Subjective Social Indicators and it now makes more sense to split the page into three sections.  Previous contents of his page have now been spread across several new pages.

Quality of Life: Measurement and methodology
There has been intense  (often polemical) debate over the years on methodology and measurement of  the concept “Quality of Life” and there is a variety of working definitions deriving from diverse academic disciplines and political perspectives.  This page lists sources of philosophical and disciplinary arguments for and against quantitative research on subjective social indicators.

Measures of psychological well-being
This page will list scales to measure psychological well-being, tried and tested in the field on general populations.  Scales tested on students will not be listed, unless they have also been used on general populations.  See also:

SSRC Survey Unit Quality of Life in Britain surveys 1971 – 1975
Summary information and detailed abstracts on all “Quality of Life in Britain” surveys conducted at the SSRC Survey Unit between 1971 and 1975 by Mark Abrams and John Hall. (Variables, fieldwork, sampling, facsimile questionnaires, user-manuals, data sets, publications.)

alguns dados q podem ser utilizados em trabalhos

Welcome to the
IFCS Cluster Benchmark Data Repository

The aim of this Repository is to stimulate better practice in benchmarking (performance comparison of methods) for cluster analysis by providing a variety of well documented high quality datasets and simulation routines for use in practical benchmarking.

The repository collects datasets with and without given “true” clusterings. A particular feature of the repository is that every dataset comes with a comprehensive documentation, including information on the specific nature of the clustering problem in this dataset and the characteristics that useful clusters should fulfill, with scientific justification.

Note: Up to May 15, 2017 a data set may be analyzed within the framework of a challenge! More information on this challenge is available here.
