records {npbr}

Annual sport records

Description

The dataset records is concerned with the yearly best men's outdoor 1500m times starting from 1966. Following Jirak, Meister and Reiss (2014), the lower boundary can be interpreted as the best possible time for a given year. This boundary is not believed to be shape constrained and can be estimated by any unconstrained shape nonparametric method.
