Correlational study between the indicators of innovation activity and agricultural production in the Russian regions

Abstract

This article is devoted to the issue of the correlation between the innovation activity and the volume of agricultural production in the Russian Federation in the context of the established documents, defining the security policy in our country. The hypothesis of the correlation between innovation activity and agricultural production in the conditions of the fourth technological revolution is substantiated. The mathematical tools that can be applied in these areas, taking into account the significant differentiation of the Russian regions, have been studied. To obtain the system assessment of innovation activity in the Russian Federation, the developed integrated index of innovation activity in the region has been used. During the study of the correlation between innovation activity and the volumes of agricultural production, the results of correlational- regression model had been specified on the basis of the correspondence analysis method. During the analysis software tools, created in Volgograd State Technical University, as well as statistical packages and also spreadsheet MS Excel, were used. This fact allows to computerize a considerable part of calculations. It was concluded, that the regions with the developed innovative activity are characterized by large volumes of agricultural production, and the volumes of agricultural production can.
