resettest {lmtest} | R Documentation |
Ramsey's RESET test for functional relation.
resettest(formula, power = 2:3, type = c("fitted", "regressor", "princomp"), data = list())
formula |
a symbolic description for the model to be tested
(or a fitted "lm" object). |
power |
integers. A vector of positive integers indicating the powers of the variables that should be included. By default it is tested for a quadratic or cubic influence of the fitted response. |
type |
a string indicating whether powers of the fitted response, the regressor variables (factors are left out) or the first principal component of the regressor matrix should be included in the extended model. |
data |
an optional data frame containing the variables in the model.
By default the variables are taken from the environment which resettest
is called from. |
RESET test is popular means of diagnostic for correctness of functional
form. The basic assumption is that under the alternative, the model can be
written by the regression
y=X * beta + Z * gamma.
Z
is generated by taking powers either of the fitted response, the
regressor variables or the first principal component of X
. A standard
F-Test is then applied to determin whether these additional variables have
significant influence. The test statistic under H_0 follows an F
distribution with parameter
degrees of freedom.
This function was called reset
in previous versions of the package. This
interface is currently still included, but a warning is issued. Please use
resettest
instead.
