RE: R: st: qladder

[Ozgur Ozdemir <ozdemirozgur@hotmail.com>]

Hi Carlo,
sorry I put it wrong. ovtest results shows the indication of omitted variables, but all other tests seem fine including normal distribution of residuals, cook's d etc and i am not sure how I will resolve it? any help appropriated.




kind regards
Ozgur Ozdemir
