Data files used in the thesis titled "Essays on estimation strategies addressing label-switching in Gaussian mixtures of semi- and non-parametric regressions".
(CO2_GDP_1992.csv) - This data set gives the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in 1992 for 145 countries as well as their estimated carbon dioxide (CO2) emission per capita for the same year. The data were obtained from the World Bank's World development indicators database.
(CO2data-2014-Africa.csv) - This data set gives the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in 2014 for 51 African countries as well as their estimated carbon dioxide (CO2) emission per capita for the same year. The data were obtained from the World Bank's World development indicators database (accessed on 10 April 2023).
(Data_Application1.csv) - This data comprises CO2 emissions per capita, oil consumption per capita and the number of people living in urban areas (Urbanisation) for the period 1990 to 2019 for 7-8 OECD countries. The data were obtained from the https://ourworldindata.org/ database
(Data_Application2.csv) - This data comprises CO2 emissions per capita, real GDP per capita (GDP-per-capita) and the percentage share of primary energy attributable to renewable energy sources for the period 1990 to 2019 for 7-8 OECD countries. The data were obtained from the https://ourworldindata.org/ database.
(SA_Covid_data.csv) - This data set gives the Covid-19 14-day infection rates (r_t) over time (t) in two South African provinces, Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN) and the Eastern Cape (EC), for the period December 2020 to 15 February 2021. The original data is obtained from the Data Science for Social Impact COVID-19 data repository (https://github.com/dsfsi/covid19za)
(CO2data) - This data set gives the gross national product (GNP) per capita in 1996 for 28 countries as well as their estimated carbon dioxide (CO2) emission per capita for the same year. This dataset is available from the R package mixtools (accessed via the link https://doi.org/10.32614/CRAN.package.mixtools)
