Savings and income Your microeconomics professor gives you a dataset of 90 households that describes the savings behavior and economic characteristics (income, famsize) of a sample of families in South Bend. The dataset also contains demographic information about the head of household (age, educ). She asks you to investigate the relationship between savings and family income (both measured in USD). You estimate the following population model for households h.
