The
theoretical hypothesis that the perception of the degree of
disparity in time may be very different from that in static terms
was confirmed by several examples. Benchmarking the 2005 values of
infant mortality rate for 192 countries against long-term trend for
Sweden showed the possibility of using gap timing procedure for
benchmarking against historical development. In comparing UNICEF
(2007) data for infant mortality rate for selected group of countries
and world regions for several data points in the period 1960-2005 the
second new statistical measure S-time-step is used to compare the
velocity of improvements in reducing infant mortality rate between
two consecutive levels of the indicator.
The
results for infant mortality rate for 113 countries for 2004 is
presented as an example of results across many countries for their
implementation of the MDGs.
