The Human Development Index is a measure of development index calculated from life expectancy, literacy, education and standards of living. In this paper, Human Development Index data of European Union are collected for periods 1980-2013, and analyzed using Generalized Estimating Equations to investigate whether there is a trend through the years. Generalized Estimating Equations method is often employed to analyze longitudinal and other correlated response data does not require any multivariate distribution assumption
