Dear R users, there is a new version of the package `lmtest' for testing linear regression models on CRAN. Except for a couple of minor bug fixes, there are essentially these new features: o added Breusch-Godfrey test for serial correlation (thanks to David M. Mitchell who provided the initial version of the code for bgtest) o new data sets: mandible measurements in fetuses, US macroecnomic time series o the Durbin-Watson test dwtest() now takes an alternative argument. The default is to test for positive autocorrelation (which was the only option before). o a vignette, which describes the package. This is a version of an article that will be published in the forthcoming R News 2(3). The DESCRIPTION of the package is given below.
