Tests to be Discussed Goldfeld-Quandt Test

Assumes variance monotonically associated with some variable.

Breusch-Pagan-Godfrey Test Variance linear function of set of variables

or function of a linear combination of variables.

Obstetrics Example Data from 800+ hospitals. Dependent variable is the average

length of stay in maternity ward. Explanatory variables is the charge per

day and % of deliveries that are c-sections.

Expect greater variability in length of stay at hospitals that are not subject to high managed care.

Example of BPG Test using OB Data Null hypothesis is

homoscedasticity Let the Z’s be (1) the number of of

OB cases per year and (2) whether the hospital is under high managed care

Expect variance to be negatively related to both variables.

Built in BPG Test in Shazam Shazam has a built in BPG test. Uses the explanatory variables as

the Zs. Invoked by using the command

“DIAGNOS” with the option “HET” right after the “OLS” command.

White General Test for Heteroscedasticity This is a general test. No preconception of cause of

heteroscedasticity Is a Lagrange-Multiplier Test Regress squared residuals on

explanatory variables, their squares and their cross products.

n*R2 is chi-squared variable

White Correction Do not know the source of

heteroscedasticity. Forced to use OLS estimates. Consistent estimate of true

variance-covariance matrix of OLS estimators.

Gives test of hypothesis that are asymptotically unbiased.
