  <dc:title>Debiased Score Tests for Goodness of Fit and Model Comparison</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package dScoreTest version 1.0.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Debiased (Neyman-orthogonalized) score tests for assessing
    whether a semiparametric or parametric regression model is well-specified
    and for comparing nested models. The test employs a hunt-and-test strategy:
    on a held-out hunt sample, it fits the null model and uses machine
    learning to find a direction in which the null model's score seems positive;
    on an independent test sample, it assesses the significance of the score in
    the hunted direction. The test employs orthogonalization to eliminate the
    bias from estimating the null model, yielding a test statistic that is
    asymptotically standard normal under the null without requiring a parametric
    form for the alternative. Methods are provided for 'glm', 'lm' and
    'mgcv::gam' fits as well as for detecting heterogeneous treatment effects.
    The methodology is described in Dhawan, Guo and Shah (2026)
