Linear regression models are checked by a lack-of-fit (LOF) test to be sure that the model is at least approximatively true. In many practical cases data are sampled sequentially. Such a situation appears in industrial production when goods…

Linear least squares regression is subject to bias due to an omitted variable, a mismeasured regressor, or simultaneity. A simple test to detect the bias is proposed and explored in simulation and in real data sets.
