Monthly Rentals and Qualitative Characteristics of Computers
Description
This is a data set on the monthly rentals of computers of different quality during the 1960s.
Usage
data.comp
Format
A data frame with 34 observations on the following four variables:
rent monthly rental (in dollar).
mem memory capacity computed from three different computer characteristics.
access average time required to access information from memory.
mult average time required to obtain and complete multiplication instruction.
Details
In Auer et al. (2023, Chaps. 13 & 14) these data are used to illustrate the specification of a multivariate regression model.
Source
The dataset was originally published by Chow (1967). For the purpose of desk it was imported from 3.5 inch floppy disk in ASCII format included in Berndt (1990). The dataset also available in the original format on Github.
