gvlma-package: Global Validation of Linear Model Assumptions

Description

Perform a single global test to assess the linear model assumptions, as well as perform specific directional tests designed to detect skewness, kurtosis, a nonlinear link function, and heteroscedasticity.

Details

Package:	gvlma
Type:	Package
Version:	1.0

License:	GPL

The function gvlma will take either a linear models object or a formula and data set for a linear model (single response) and compute the global and directional tests for assessing modeling assumptions as described in the reference listed below. The function deletion.gvlma will compute the deletion (“leave-one-out”) global statistics described in that paper.
