  <dc:title>Panel Data Pre-Testing and Diagnostic Suite</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package paneltests version 1.0.5</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Pre-testing and diagnostic tools for panel data analysis.
    Researchers should run these tests before any panel regression to
    verify modelling assumptions. The package implements: (1) the Hsiao
    (2014, &lt;ISBN:978-1-107-65763-2&gt;) homogeneity F-tests (F1/F2/F3),
    Swamy (1970) &lt;doi:10.2307/1913012&gt; parameter heterogeneity test, and
    Pesaran (2004) &lt;doi:10.2139/ssrn.572504&gt; cross-sectional dependence
    test via xtpretest(); (2) missing-data detection, mechanism testing,
    and imputation for unbalanced panels via xtmispanel(); (3)
    quantile-regression cross-sectional dependence tests (T_tau and
    T-tilde_tau statistics) of Demetrescu, Hosseinkouchack and Rodrigues
    (2023) &lt;doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.09.001&gt; via xtcsdq(); and (4) the
    panel quantile-regression slope homogeneity S-hat and D-hat
    statistics of Galvao, Juhl, Montes-Rojas and Olmo (2017)
    &lt;doi:10.1080/07350015.2015.1054493&gt; via xtqsh(). Together these
    tests address three fundamental pre-testing questions: (i) are
    slopes homogeneous? (ii) is there cross-sectional dependence? and
    (iii) is the panel balanced and is missingness ignorable?</dc:description>
