R Dataset / Package robustbase / wagnerGrowth

On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the wagnerGrowth data set which pertains to Wagner's Hannover Employment Growth Data. The wagnerGrowth data set is found in the robustbase R package. You can load the wagnerGrowth data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("wagnerGrowth"). This will load the data into a variable called wagnerGrowth. If R says the wagnerGrowth data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("robustbase") and then attempt to reload the data with the library() command. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the wagnerGrowth R data set. The size of this file is about 2,284 bytes.

Wagner's Hannover Employment Growth Data

Description

Wagner (1994) investigates the rate of employment growth (y) as function of percentage of people engaged in producation activities (PA) and higher services (HS) and of the growth of these percentages (GPA, GHS) during three time periods in 21 geographical regions of the greater Hannover area.

Usage

data(wagnerGrowth)

Format

A data frame with 21 * 3 = 63 observations (one per Region x Period) on the following 7 variables.

Region: a factor with 21 levels, denoting the corresponding region in Hannover (conceptually a “block factor”).
PA: numeric: percent of people involved in production activities.
GPA: growth of PA.
HS: a numeric vector
GHS: a numeric vector
y: a numeric vector
Period: a factor with levels 1:3, denoting the time period, 1 = 1979-1982, 2 = 1983-1988, 3 = 1989-1992.
