linreg-core 0.8.1

Lightweight regression library (OLS, Ridge, Lasso, Elastic Net, WLS, LOESS, Polynomial) with 14 diagnostic tests, cross validation, and prediction intervals. Pure Rust - no external math dependencies. WASM, Python, FFI, and Excel XLL bindings.

# ============================================================================
# DFFITS Reference Implementation (Python)
# ============================================================================
# This script generates reference values for DFFITS using
# statsmodels.stats.outliers_influence.OLSInfluence.dffits.
# DFFITS measures the influence of each observation on its own
# fitted value.
#
# Source: statsmodels package, OLSInfluence.dffits
# Reference: Belsley, D. A., Kuh, E., & Welsch, R. E. (1980),
#            "Regression Diagnostics", Wiley
#
# Usage:
#   python test_dffits.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
