forms. The problem is quite relevant in view of the fact
that the society gets out of structural limitations.
Increasingly, social actors step over the border, which
for many ordinary people are considered immutable,
violate generally accepted course of events, the
established norms of behavior and morality. In this
regard, the authors discuss the phenomenon of
transgression as an integral part of modern society,
which is understood as a strategy to overcome social
taboos, violation of cultural traditions, moral and
religious regulators. In addition, the transgression may
be regarded as a manifestation of freedom. Freedom
from rules, regulations, prohibitions, including
religious ones. And then it is quite possible the
emergence of such a phenomenon as a religious
transgression. The authors give a definition of
religious transgression, which is the process overstep
religious prohibitions designed to separate the man
from his immersion in faith, radical overcoming taboos
of religion, the transition from one religion to another.
The article presents the results conducted in 2016 a

Sociology is one of the most important social
sciences. Mathematical and primarily statistical
methods are effective intellectual tools of
sociologists. Let us analyze the work of the author of
this article on the development of statistical methods
to meet the challenges of sociology. Then we give
the review of development of statistical methods in
Russian sociology for 45 years (1970-2015). The
basic scientific events of these years, first of all, were
formation of applied statistics and its basis - statistics
of the non-numerical data (in sociology of 70-90% of
variables have non-numerical nature). Over the last
30 years, the Russian sociology has been growing
rapidly in all quantitative parameters. Clearly, the
depth of investigation gives the use of advanced
scientific apparatus - methodology and methods of
data collection and analysis, mathematical models. In
our view, a fundamental breakthrough was made in
our country in the 1970s. It was then in the arsenal of
Russian sociologists appeared measurement theory
and fuzzy sets, mathematical methods of
classification and multidimensional scaling,
nonparametric statistics and statistics of non-numeric
data. In subsequent decades it has been a natural
development of scientific apparatus. The same
mathematical and statistical methods and models can
be successfully applied in various fields of science
and practice. Statistical methods and models are very
effective in sociological, socio-economic,
managerial, technical and feasibility studies,
medicine, history, in almost any industry and
application areas of knowledge. Within this field, the
main event of the last thirty five years - is becoming
a scientific and practical discipline "Applied
Statistics", dedicated to the development and
application of statistical methods and models. An
analysis of the dynamics of applied statistics leads to
the conclusion that in the XXI century the statistics
of non-numerical data is becoming a central area of
applied statistics, as it contains the most common
approaches and results

The purpose of the research is development of the new methods of diagnostic the research activities productivity. It is known, that for the evaluation the productivity of a scientist we usually use a well-known index of Hirsch, the introduction of which in 2005 was a significant step forward compared with application of this index as the ratio of the number of references to works of scientist and publications themselves. At the same time even h-index as an indicator is not flawless, the main flaw is weak differential ability: a number of links to the most cited publications of the scientific worker does not matter after reaching a certain threshold. It is necessary to develop a method of estimating the productivity of scientific worker, which preserves dignities of h-index and removes its shortcomings. This will allow evaluating the productivity of research activities more objectively. Methodological bases of the research: a systematic approach (considering the science as a social institution in close connection with the society as a whole), a metasystem approach (considering the results of the scientific activities as a metasystem, i.e. the system with relatively independent components), probabilistic and statistical approach (considering the research activities as the random process), a synergistic approach (considering science like a self-organized system) qualimetric approach (considering the productivity of scientific activity as latent variables that reflect a variety of criteria)
The aim of the study is the single-parent families - this is one of the main socio-demographic types of a modern family.
