Synopsis

The Global Innovation Index (GII) and the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) are indicators related to the innovation and logistics performance of countries. A high level of these two indicators gives countries an advantage in terms of economic development. This study aims to evaluate 108 countries using the Expectation–Maximization (EM) clustering method based on LPI and GII data for 2023. The clustering method shows the similarity and dissimilarity of alternatives within a set of criteria, with LPI and GII data being the criteria and countries as the alternatives. As a result of the clustering, the countries are grouped into 4 groups. This grouping is valuable for countries to see which other countries are similar and dissimilar to them. With this grouping, policy makers have the opportunity to compare their own country with other countries.
