# ============================================================================
# DFBETAS Reference Implementation (Python)
# ============================================================================
# This script generates reference values for DFBETAS using
# statsmodels.stats.outliers_influence.OLSInfluence.dfbetas.
# DFBETAS measures the influence of each observation on each
# regression coefficient.
#
# Source: statsmodels package, OLSInfluence.dfbetas
# Reference: Belsley, D. A., Kuh, E., & Welsch, R. E. (1980),
#            "Regression Diagnostics", Wiley
#
# Usage:
#   python test_dfbetas.py [--csv CSV_PATH] [--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR]
#
#   Args:
#     --csv       Path to CSV file (first col = response, rest = predictors)
#                 Default: ../../datasets/csv/mtcars.csv
#     --output-dir Path to output directory
#                 Default: ../../results/python
