Abstract

We develop Dobrescu’s ideas (2011, 2013) to discover the main characteristics of an economic or social system. Many classifications of models, based on different dissimilarity measures, were taken into consideration. Also a practical example, which analyzes the relations among some indicators regarding the quality of life in Romania in 2010, was given.
