Country Data Quality
The SMRE rates the overall country data quality based on all country sets included into the SMRE. Use "Period" to set output to 1996-2005 (period 2000) or 2006-2015 (2010). On the upper right, choose between two modes of visualisation.Due to technical reasons, our data can currently only be displayed in table format and unfortunately not in the usual map format or as diagrams.
Country data quality is based on various tests and procedures implemented in the SMRE-algorithm. In sum, they result in a ‘conservative’ judgment on quality of country data statistically. Thus, SMRE estimates for countries classified as reliable can be taken as a highly precise approximation to the actual situation of religious affiliation. Probably reliable country data can be taken as a realistic approximation too, however leaving some room for statistical deviation in percentages especially for smaller categories.
