Description

Performs turning point and inflection point tests for U-shaped and inverse U-shaped relationships in regression models. Implements the Sasabuchi (1980) test as extended by Lind and Mehlum (2010) with support for quadratic, cubic, log-quadratic, and inverse functional forms. Features include delta-method standard errors, Fieller confidence intervals, Simonsohn (2018) two-lines test, and parametric bootstrap. Designed for post-estimation analysis of linear models, panel models, and quantile regression.
