test

<code>test</code> is an S3 generic function used to conduct hypothesis tests on provider effect coefficients
and detect outlying provider. The function dispatches to the appropriate method
based on the class of the input model (<code>fit</code>).

Implements linear and generalized linear models for provider profiling,
incorporating both fixed and random effects. For large-scale providers, the linear
profiled-based method and the SerBIN method for binary data
reduce the computational burden. Provides post-modeling features, such as
indirect and direct standardization measures, hypothesis testing,
confidence intervals, and post-estimation visualization.
