Russian Federation demonstrate noticeable regarding socio-economic availability human natural resources, development educational, scientific innovative potentials, depending on historical infrastructure. This examines clustering according indexes characterizing economic, activity. classification was carried out by method cluster analysis. Purpose . aim identify homogeneous groups similar their economic indexes, statistical analysis these based non-parametric methods correlation regression analysis, formation conclusions recommendations innovation. Materials information base data analytical state activity regions. following were used study: (Spearman’s rank coefficients, Mann-Whitney test), (Pearson’s coefficients determination), (non-linear models), multivariate classifications (cluster analysis), descriptive statistics (averages, structural averages, indicators variation, etc.). Results As a result Russia using k-means method, 4 obtained, which statistically within studied indexes. In order relationships between considered paired linear Pearson calculated. tested three hypotheses about significant third fourth clusters. set as follows: coefficient inventive activity, internal costs research per employee, average capita size goods services.
