    This document compares different functional forms (linear, logarithmic, quadratic, and inverse proportion) to model the relationship between a country's Gini coefficient (gini) and GDP per capita (pib_1000). It estimates each functional form using regression analysis and compares the goodness of fit. The linear and quadratic forms had the best fit to the data based on their r-squared values, while the inverse proportion form had the worst fit.
