Heteroscedasticity in Regression (2020)

Heteroscedasticity in Regression Heteroscedasticity in Regression: The term heteroscedasticity refers to the violation of the assumption of homoscedasticity in linear regression models (LRM). In the case of heteroscedasticity, the errors have unequal variances for different levels of the regressors, which leads to biased and inefficient estimators of the regression coefficients. …

Heteroscedasticity Consequences

Heteroscedasticity refers to a situation in which the variability of the errors (residuals) in a regression model is not constant across all levels of the independent variable(s). It refers to the violation of the assumption of homoscedasticity in linear regression models (LRM). Heteroscedasticity Consequences A short detail about the Heteroscedasticity …

Nature of Heteroscedasticity (2020)

Let us start with the nature of heteroscedasticity. The assumption of homoscedasticity (equal spread, equal variance) is $$E(u_i^2)=E(u_i^2|X_{2i},X_{3i},\cdots, X_{ki})=\sigma^2,\quad 1,2,\cdots, n$$ The above Figure shows that the conditional variance of $Y_i$ (which is equal to that of $u_i$), conditional upon the given $X_i$, remains the same regardless of the values …
