UBSprices


The international bank UBS produces a report on prices in major world cities
every three years.  This data.frame includes price data for a 1 kg loaf of
bread, 1 kg of rice and for a Big Mac hamburger, for the years 2003 and 2009.
All these prices are measured in the minutes of labor required by the typical
worker in that country to buy the product, so it adjusts for currency, wages
and price levels.

This package is a companion to the textbook S. Weisberg (2014),
"Applied Linear Regression," 4rd edition, Wiley. It includes all the
data sets discussed in the book and one function to access the textbook's
website.
This package depends on the car package.  Many data files in this package
are included in the alr3 package as well, so only one of them should be
loaded.
