G2.10 Software should ensure that extraction or filtering of single columns from tabular inputs should not presume any particular default behaviour, and should ensure all column-extraction operations behave consistently regardless of the class of tabular data used as input.*
G2.11 Software should ensure that data.frame-like tabular objects which have columns which do not themselves have standard class attributes (typically, vector) are appropriately processed, and do not error without reason. This behaviour should be tested. Again, columns created by the units package provide a good test case.

G5.4 *Correctness tests** *to test that statistical algorithms produce expected results to some fixed test data sets (potentially through comparisons using binding frameworks such as RStata).
G5.4a For new methods, it can be difficult to separate out correctness of the method from the correctness of the implementation, as there may not be reference for comparison. In this case, testing may be implemented against simple, trivial cases or against multiple implementations such as an initial R implementation compared with results from a C/C++ implementation.
G5.6 *Parameter recovery tests** *to test that the implementation produce expected results given data with known properties. For instance, a linear regression algorithm should return expected coefficient values for a simulated data set generated from a linear model.

G5.3 For functions which are expected to return objects containing no missing (NA) or undefined (NaN, Inf) values, the absence of any such values in return objects should be explicitly tested.*
G5.4c Where applicable, stored values may be drawn from published paper outputs when applicable and where code from original implementations is not available
G5.7 *Algorithm performance tests** *to test that implementation performs as expected as properties of data change. For instance, a test may show that parameters approach correct estimates within tolerance as data size increases, or that convergence times decrease for higher convergence thresholds.
G5.8 *Edge condition tests** *to test that these conditions produce expected behaviour such as clear warnings or errors when confronted with data with extreme properties including but not limited to:
G5.8a Zero-length data
G5.8b Data of unsupported types (e.g., character or complex numbers in for functions designed only for numeric data)
G5.8c Data with all-NA fields or columns or all identical fields or columns
G5.8d Data outside the scope of the algorithm (for example, data with more fields (columns) than observations (rows) for some regression algorithms)
G5.9 *Noise susceptibility tests** *Packages should test for expected stochastic behaviour, such as through the following conditions:
G5.9a Adding trivial noise (for example, at the scale of .Machine$double.eps) to data does not meaningfully change results
RE2.3 Where applicable, Regression Software should enable data to be centred (for example, through converting to zero-mean equivalent values; or to z-scores) or offset (for example, to zero-intercept equivalent values) via additional parameters, with the effects of any such parameters clearly documented and tested.
RE2.4 Regression Software should implement pre-processing routines to identify whether aspects of input data are perfectly collinear, notably including:
RE2.4a Perfect collinearity among predictor variables
RE2.4b Perfect collinearity between independent and dependent variables*
RE3.2 Ensure that convergence thresholds have sensible default values, demonstrated through explicit documentation.
RE3.3 Allow explicit setting of convergence thresholds, unless reasons against doing so are explicitly documented.*
RE4.1 Regression Software may enable an ability to generate a model object without actually fitting values. This may be useful for controlling batch processing of computationally intensive fitting algorithms.*
RE4.14 Where possible, values should also be provided for extrapolation or forecast errors.
RE4.15 Sufficient documentation and/or testing should be provided to demonstrate that forecast errors, confidence intervals, or equivalent values increase with forecast horizons.*
RE4.16 Regression Software which models distinct responses for different categorical groups should include the ability to submit new groups to predict() methods.*
RE4.3 Confidence intervals on those coefficients (via confint())
RE4.5 Numbers of observations submitted to model (via nobs())
RE4.6 The variance-covariance matrix of the model parameters (via vcov())
RE4.7 Where appropriate, convergence statistics*
RE5.0 Scaling relationships between sizes of input data (numbers of observations, with potential extension to numbers of variables/columns) and speed of algorithm.*
RE7.0 Tests with noiseless, exact relationships between predictor (independent) data.
RE7.0a In particular, these tests should confirm ability to reject perfectly noiseless input data.
RE7.1 Tests with noiseless, exact relationships between predictor (independent) and response (dependent) data.
RE7.1a In particular, these tests should confirm that model fitting is at least as fast or (preferably) faster than testing with equivalent noisy data (see RE2.4b).*
RE7.4 Extending directly from RE4.15, where appropriate, tests should demonstrate and confirm that forecast errors, confidence intervals, or equivalent values increase with forecast horizons.
