The Gini coefficent is a general measurement of inequality in a population. It ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 being perfectly equal distribution and 1 being absolutely unequal distribution. This dataset is based on a gradient boosting machine. This model was trained on original Gini net income data from the world income inequality database (WIID) and more than 1400 social policy related indicators from WeSIS.
