The proportion of inhabitants living within a 200 kilometer wide costal strip in 232 countries in the year 2010

Description

This data set contains the proportion of inhabitants living within a 200 kilometer wide costal strip in 232 countries in the year 2010. In Example 3.3 of Dimitrova, Kaishev, Tan (2020), the data set is modelled using a zero-and-one-inflated beta distribution in the null hypothesis and a one-sample two-sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is performed to test whether the proposed distribution fits the data well enough.

Usage

data("Population_Data")

Format

A data frame with 232 observations on the proportion of inhabitants living within a 200 kilometer wide costal strip in 2010.
