### Examples

    data("USInvest")

    ## Chapter 3 in Greene (2003)
    ## transform (and round) data to match Table 3.1
    us <- as.data.frame(USInvest)
    us$invest <- round(0.1 * us$invest/us$price, digits = 3)
    us$gnp <- round(0.1 * us$gnp/us$price, digits = 3)
    us$inflation <- c(4.4, round(100 * diff(us$price)/us$price[-15], digits = 2))
    us$trend <- 1:15
    us <- us[, c(2, 6, 1, 4, 5)]

    ## p. 22-24
    coef(lm(invest ~ trend + gnp, data = us))
    coef(lm(invest ~ gnp, data = us))

    ## Example 3.1, Table 3.2
    cor(us)[1,-1]
    pcor <- solve(cor(us))
    dcor <- 1/sqrt(diag(pcor))
    pcor <- (-pcor * (dcor %o% dcor))[1,-1]

    ## Table 3.4
    fm  <- lm(invest ~ trend + gnp + interest + inflation, data = us)
    fm1 <- lm(invest ~ 1, data = us)
    anova(fm1, fm)
