Description
The problem of drug addiction in the Russian
Federation poses a threat to the national security. For
effective decision-making in the field of drug
prevention and fight against drugs, it is necessary to
assess the drug situation, the state of law enforcement
practices and socio-economic development of the
observed areas. The article describes the method of
complex statistical evaluation of the level of drug
addiction in the Russian Federation. Based on a
systemic approach author distinguishes stages of
multivariate statistical analysis of a priori indicators
characterizing the state of socio-economic,
demographic, biomedical and law enforcement
situation in certain areas of the federal districts of the
Russian Federation. The classification of signs into
factorial indicators groups is proposed. Estimations of
relationships studied statistics and draw conclusions
about the impact on the drug situation of various
factors, including the average for the group, are
presented. Then this paper describes the application of
the factor analysis to construct regression models to
predict the drug situation in the Russian Federation
according to the status of independent indicators and
trends in the integrated development of regions. A
method for evaluating the level of development of the
drug situation in the Russian Federation because of
automatic classification algorithms is proposed and the
principle of its application is proven. The results of the
classification of the federal districts of the Russian
Federation on the level of the drug situation are given
