Description

two links that provide summaries of R functions for model diagnostics
http://www.statmethods.net/stats/rdiagnostics.html
http://rstudio-pubs-static.s3.amazonaws.com/2134_a31c4c71a01c472eb6081432e80689b2.html

We have essentially everything, except *), and more
ncvTest is just Breush-Pagan http://www.inside-r.org/node/86862

*) missing:

some diagnostics are extended to GLM
need to check what we can generalize or use for other models

possibility: use R examples to improve documentation for our functions

Research direction

Start by reviewing the two linked R diagnostics summaries and the listed references, then compare them with the existing statsmodels diagnostics. Inventory which diagnostics are missing, including Global Validation of Linear Model Assumptions and ceresPlots, and determine what can generalize to GLM or other models; done means a decided scope with corresponding functionality or documentation.
