abstract: 'Pre-testing and diagnostic tools for panel data analysis. Researchers should
  run these tests before any panel regression to verify modelling assumptions. The
  package implements: (1) the Hsiao (2014, <ISBN:978-1-107-65763-2>) homogeneity F-tests
  (F1/F2/F3), Swamy (1970) <https://doi.org/10.2307/1913012> parameter heterogeneity
  test, and Pesaran (2004) <https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.572504> cross-sectional dependence
  test via xtpretest(); (2) missing-data detection, mechanism testing, and imputation
  for unbalanced panels via xtmispanel(); (3) quantile-regression cross-sectional
  dependence tests (T_tau and T-tilde_tau statistics) of Demetrescu, Hosseinkouchack
  and Rodrigues (2023) via xtcsdq(); and (4) the panel quantile-regression slope homogeneity
  S-hat and D-hat statistics of Galvao, Juhl, Montes-Rojas and Olmo (2017) <https://doi.org/10.1093/jjfinec/nbx016>
  via xtqsh(). Together these tests address three fundamental pre-testing questions:
  (i) are slopes homogeneous? (ii) is there cross-sectional dependence? and (iii)
  is the panel balanced and is missingness ignorable?'
