What correlates with progress?

Each feature tag is tested as a predictor of the 5-year EPI delta, both as a raw correlation and in a regression controlling for GDP per capita, R&D intensity, system size, and base ranking level.

Controlled association by feature

Regression coefficient (points of 5y EPI delta) with 95% confidence interval. Bars crossing zero are not distinguishable from no effect.
