#' @details The dataset was introduced and analyzed by Schmit and Roth (1990) and
#'     is available in the personal web page of Professor E. Frees (Wisconsin School
#'      of Business Research). The response variable is \code{FIRMCOST}, smaller
#'      values of firm cost are attributed to firms that have a good risk management
#'      performance.
