### Description

Freeny's data on quarterly revenue and explanatory variables.

### Usage

There are three ‘freeny’ data sets.

`freeny.y` is a time series with 39 observations on quarterly revenue from (1962,2Q) to (1971,4Q).

`freeny.x` is a matrix of explanatory variables. The columns are `freeny.y` lagged 1 quarter, price index, income level, and market potential.

Finally, `freeny` is a data frame with variables `y`, `lag.quarterly.revenue`, `price.index`, `income.level`, and `market.potential` obtained from the above two data objects.
