Summary ouput data - Wasteaware Cities Benchmark Indicators - WABI 2023 - Global data analytics - Machine learning vs. Non-linear Regression

We are grateful to UN-Habitat for funding the work on the initial version of the indicators, including 20 city profiles, and GIZ through their 'Operator Models' project which funded an intermediate version of the indicators and a further 5 city profiles. We acknowledge all the profilers of the individual cities – many are named in Table S2, and others in reference (Scheinberg et al. 2010). We thank past MSc students under the authors' supervision for offering preliminary partial data clearing and commentary: Henry Hickman (MSc dissertation at University of Leeds, supervised by C.A.V and D.C.W.) and Margaux Fargier (Final year MEng dissertation at Imperial College London, supervised by S.M.G, D.C.W and C.A.V.). We are grateful to Dr Josh Cottom and Mr Ed Cook at the University of Leeds for input on the GDP version selection. We acknowledge the support of Dr Ljiljana Rodic for contributing in data quality control.
