Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Object: The object of the current article is to build a linear regression model to predict the value of GDP per capita using 9 socio-economic indicators. Methods: Correlation and regression analysis methods were used for this study. All calculations are performed in MS EXCEL. 1 dependent and 9 independent variables were used as a basis. Findings: Authors have identified nine variables that can potentially affect the amount of GDP per capita, and col lected data according to these variables from 2012 to 2022, from open sources. The model was highly appreciated by generally accepted estimates, including: f value, p value, normalized R square. Conclusions: Our analysis shows the impact of average wages, human development index, fertility and degree of real interest on GDP per capita, which allows us to build a highly efficient linear regression model. Thanks to our abil ity to accurately assess and reliably predict, our results shed light on the directions of economic intervention aimed at economic growth and improving the welfare and development of society in Kazakhstan.
