Abstract: The submitted paper focuses on the utilization of the concept of aggregated indicators for expressing the competitiveness of regions. The statistical methods, factor and cluster analysis, have been used for the modeling. In this modeling process real data from the Eurostat statistics database are used. These data contain diverse information about the second level of nomenclature of territorial units for statistics and comparable regions. The result of the factor analysis is the development of a set of new composite indicators that markedly contribute to the increase of competitiveness of a given region. The results of the cluster analysis algorithms (K-means and Self-Organizing maps) are clusters of the selected regions constructed by clustering composite indicators values.
Keywords: Cluster analysis, Composite indicators, Factor analysis, NUTS 2 region.
