An alternative to explicitly modelling the heteroskedasticity is using a resampling method such as the wild bootstrap. Given that the studentized bootstrap, which standardizes the resampled statistic by its standard error, yields an asymptotic refinement, [13] heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors remain nevertheless useful.
In Julia, the CovarianceMatrices.jl package [11] supports several types of heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent covariance matrix estimation including Newey–West, White, and Arellano. In R , the packages sandwich [ 6 ] and plm [ 12 ] include a function for the Newey–West estimator.
Plot with random data showing heteroscedasticity: The variance of the y-values of the dots increases with increasing values of x. In statistics , a sequence of random variables is homoscedastic ( / ˌ h oʊ m oʊ s k ə ˈ d æ s t ɪ k / ) if all its random variables have the same finite variance ; this is also known as homogeneity of variance .
An alternative to the White test is the Breusch–Pagan test, where the Breusch-Pagan test is designed to detect only linear forms of heteroskedasticity. Under certain conditions and a modification of one of the tests, they can be found to be algebraically equivalent.
The MATLAB/DIDO toolbox does not require a "guess" to run the algorithm. This and other distinguishing features have made DIDO a popular tool to solve optimal control problems. [4] [7] [15] The MATLAB optimal control toolbox has been used to solve problems in aerospace, [11] robotics [1] and search theory. [2]
Example of a cubic polynomial regression, which is a type of linear regression. Although polynomial regression fits a curve model to the data, as a statistical estimation problem it is linear, in the sense that the regression function E(y | x) is linear in the unknown parameters that are estimated from the data.
In probability theory and statistics, a conditional variance is the variance of a random variable given the value(s) of one or more other variables. Particularly in econometrics, the conditional variance is also known as the scedastic function or skedastic function. [1]
Given the assumptions that a practitioner deems as reasonable, different types of standard errors solve this problem in different ways. For example, classic homoskedastic standard errors assume that Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } is diagonal with identical elements σ 2 {\displaystyle \sigma ^{2}} , which simplifies the expression for V ( β ...
