Ramsey RESET Test

The Ramsey RESET test, proposed by James Ramsey in 1969, is a general test for functional-form misspecification in a linear regression — for omitted nonlinear relationships between the response and the regressors. It adds powers of the fitted values to the model and checks whether they significantly improve the fit; if they do, the original linear specification has left systematic structure unexplained.
