WHY is heteroscedasticity bad?

2000-05-30 Thread Markus Quandt
Hello all, when discussing linear regression assumptions with a colleague, we noticed that we were unable to explain WHY heteroscedasticity has the well known ill effects on the estimators' properties. I know WHAT the consequences are (loss of efficiency, tendency to underestimate the standard er

This may not fully answer all your questions, but the various formulas for inference for regression have a place where you plug in THE variance of the points around the regression model, i.e., they treat this as a constant. If it is not a constant, the results of the formulas will not be correct

Does not appear to be moving that direction with Minitab itself. They are teaming with Hertzler Systems (www.hertzlersystems.com) and Qualifine to jointly provide what looks to be a very nice real-time SPC system. Contact qualifine (www.qualifine.com I think) to find out more. I'm sure Minitab cou

Karen..off the top of my head, the VIF is the inverse of tolerance, hence, if tolerance = (1 - r^2j), then VIF= 1/(1-r^2j)..[excuse the sloppiness of the notation, but r^2j would be the percentage of variation accounted for by the predictors in predicting the other predictor..ie., the linear combi
