abstract: 'Debiased (Neyman-orthogonalized) score tests for assessing whether a semiparametric
  or parametric regression model is well-specified and for comparing nested models.
  The test employs a hunt-and-test strategy: on a held-out hunt sample, it fits the
  null model and uses machine learning to find a direction in which the null model''s
  score seems positive; on an independent test sample, it assesses the significance
  of the score in the hunted direction. The test employs orthogonalization to eliminate
  the bias from estimating the null model, yielding a test statistic that is asymptotically
  standard normal under the null without requiring a parametric form for the alternative.
  Methods are provided for ''glm'', ''lm'' and ''mgcv::gam'' fits as well as for detecting
  heterogeneous treatment effects. The methodology is described in Dhawan, Guo and
  Shah (2026) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2607.28861>.'
