# ============================================================================
# White Test Reference Implementation (R)
# ============================================================================
# This script generates reference values for the White test using R's
# skedastic::white function. The White test is a more general test for
# heteroscedasticity that uses squares and cross-products of predictors.
#
# Source: skedastic package, white function
# Reference: White (1980), "A Heteroskedasticity-Consistent Covariance
#            Matrix Estimator and a Direct Test for Heteroskedasticity"
#
# Usage:
#   Rscript test_white.R [csv_path] [output_dir]
#   Args:
#     csv_path  - Path to CSV file (first col = response, rest = predictors)
#                 Default: ../../datasets/csv/mtcars.csv
#     output_dir- Path to output directory
#                 Default: ../../results/r
