The Kmenta data frame has 20 rows and 5 columns.

This data frame contains the following columns:

Q: food consumption per capita.
P: ratio of food prices to general consumer prices.
D: disposable income in constant dollars.
F: ratio of preceding year's prices received by farmers to general consumer prices.
A: time in years.

The exogenous variables D, F, and A are based on real data; the endogenous variables P and Q were generated by simulation.
