In [[statistics]], the '''Ramsey Regression Equation Specification Error Test (RESET) test''' (Ramsey, 1969) is a general [[specification (regression)|specification]] test for the [[linear regression]] model. More specifically, it tests whether non-linear combinations of the fitted values help explain the [[response variable]]. The intuition behind the test is that if non-linear combinations of the [[explanatory variable]]s have any power in explaining the response variable, the model is mis-specified.

==Technical summary==
Consider the model
 
: <math>\hat{y}=E\{y|x\}=\beta x.</math>
 
The Ramsey test then tests whether <math>(\beta x)^2, (\beta x)^3...,(\beta x)^k</math> has any power in explaining <math>y</math>. This is executed by estimating the following [[linear regression]]
 
: <math>y=\alpha x + \gamma_1\hat{y}^2+...+\gamma_{k-1}\hat{y}^k+\epsilon</math>,
 
and then testing, by a means of a [[F-test]] whether <math>\gamma_1~</math> through <math>~\gamma_{k-1}</math> are zero. If the null-hypothesis that all <math>\gamma~</math> coefficients are zero is rejected, then the model suffers from mis-specification.
