The document discusses heteroscedasticity, which occurs when the variance of the error term is not constant. It defines heteroscedasticity and provides potential causes, such as errors increasing with an independent variable or model misspecification. Consequences are that OLS estimates are no longer BLUE and standard errors are biased. Several tests for detecting heteroscedasticity are outlined, including Park, Glejser, Spearman rank correlation, and Goldfeld-Quandt tests. The Goldfeld-Quandt test involves dividing data into groups and comparing regression sum of squares to test if error variance differs between groups.
Heteroscedasticity is the condition which refers to the violation of the Homoscedasticity condition of the linear regression model used in econometrics study. In simple words, it can be described as the situation which leads to increase in the variance of the residual terms with the increase in the fitted value of the variable.

We can define heteroscedasticity as the condition in which the variance of the error term or the residual term in a regression model varies. As you can see in the above diagram, in the case of homoscedasticity, the data points are equally scattered while in the case of heteroscedasticity, the data points are not equally scattered.
Two Conditions:
1] Known Variance

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Heteroscedasticity

Heteroscedasticity
Definition
One of the assumption of the classical linear regression model that the error ( iε )
term having the same variance i.e. δ2
. But in most practical situation this
assumption did not fulfill, and we have the problem of heteroscedasticity.
Heteroscedasticity does not destroy the unbiased and consistency property of the
ordinary least square estimators, but these estimators have not the property of
minimum variance. Recall that OLS makes the assumption that V (εi ) =σ2 for al i.
That is, the variance of the error term is constant. (Homoscedasticity). If the error
terms do not have constant variance, they are said to be heteroscedasticity. The
term means “differing variance” and comes from the Greek “hetero” ('different')
and “scedasis” ('dispersion').]
When heteroscedasticity might occur/causes of heteroscedasticity
1. Errors may increase as the value of an independent variable increases. For
example, consider a model in which annual family income is the independent
variable and annual family expenditures on vacations is the dependent variable.
Families with low incomes will spend relatively little on vacations, and the

variations in expenditures across such families will be small. But for families
with large incomes, the amount of discretionary income will be higher. The mean
amount spent on vacations will be higher, and there will also be greater variability
among such families, resulting in heteroscedasticity. Note that, in this example, a
high family income is a necessary but not sufficient condition for large vacation
expenditures. Any time a high value for an independent variable is a necessary but
not sufficient condition for an observation to have a high value on a dependent
variable, heteroscedasticity is likely.
2. Other model misspecifications can produce heteroscedasticity. For example, it
may be that instead of using Y, you should be using the log of Y. Instead of using
X, maybe you should be using X2
, or both X and X2
. Important variables may be
omitted from the model. If the model were correctly specified, you might find that
the patterns of heteroscedasticity disappeared.
3. As data Collection techniques improve, δ2
i is likely to decrease. Thus banks that
have sophisticated data processing equipment are likely to commit fewer errors in
the monthly or quarterly statements of their customers than banks without such
facilities.
4. Heteroscedasticity can also arise as a result of the presence of outliers. An
outlying observation is an observation that is much different in relation to the
observations in the sample.
3. Muhammad Ali
Lecturer in Statistics

5. Error learning models, as people learn, their errors of behavior become smaller
over time. In this case, δ2
i is expected to decrease. As an example, the number of
typing speed errors decreases as the number of typing practice increases, the
average number of typing errors as well as their variances decreases.
Consequences of heteroscedasticity
Following are the consequences of the heteroscedasticity:
1. Heteroscedasticity does not result in biased parameter estimates. However, OLS
estimates are no longer BLUE. That is, among all the unbiased estimators, OLS
does not provide the estimate with the smallest variance. Depending on the nature
of the heteroscedasticity, significance tests can be too high or too low.
2. In addition, the standard errors are biased when heteroscedasticity is present. This
in turn leads to bias in test statistics and confidence intervals.
3. Fortunately, unless heteroscedasticity is “marked,” significance tests are virtually
unaffected, and thus OLS estimation can be used without concern of serious
distortion. But, severe heteroscedasticity can sometimes be a problem. Warning:
Note that heteroscedasticity can be very problematic with methods besides OLS.
For example, in logistic regression heteroscedasticity can produce biased and
misleading parameter estimates.

Tests for Detection of Heteroscedasticity
The following tests to be used for detection of multicollinearity:
1. Park Test

If β found statistically significant in the above equation then it means that
heteroscedasticity is present in the data, otherwise we may accept the assumption of
Homoscedasticity.
The Park test is thus a two-stage procedure. In the first stage we run the OLS regression
disregarding the heteroscedasticity question. We obtain iuˆ from this regression, and then
in the second stage we run the regression (ii).

2. Glejsar Test
Glejsar test is much similar to Park test. After obtaining residuals iuˆ from the OLs
regression Glejsar suggest regressing the absolute of the iuˆ on the X variable that is
thought to be closely associated with δ2
i .

Goldfeld and Quandt point out that the error term vi has some problems in the above
expressions.
• Its expected value is not equal to zero.
• It is serially correlated.
• The last two expression are not linear in parameters and therefore cannot be estimated
with the usual OLS procedure.

Where d= difference between two rankings and n= number of individuals. The above
spearman's rank correlation coefficient can be used to detect heteroscedasticity.
The procedure for Spearman's rank correlation coefficient is as follows:
i. Fit the regression line on Y and X and find the residuals.
ii. Rank the residuals by ignoring their sign.
iii. Rank either the value of X or Y.
iv. Find difference between two rankings(di).
v. Apply the following test statistic to test the hypothesis that the population
rank correlation coefficient ρi = 0 and n > 8 i.e.

If the computed value of t exceeds than the tabulated value then we may

4. Goldfeld-Quandt Test
This test is suggested if the heteroscedasticitic variance δ2
i is positively related to one of
the predictor variables in the regression model.
Consider the two-variable regression model:
iii XY εββ ++= 21
Suppose that δ2
i is positively related to X as:

Now to test the hypothesis that there is no heteroscedasticity we will follow the following
steps.
Step#1. Rank the observations beginning with the lowest value of X.
Step#2. Omit 'c' central observations where 'c' is fixed in advance, and then divide
the remaining observation into two groups.
Step#3. Fit the OLS regression model to both groups and obtain sum of square of
regression i.e. RSS1 and RSS2. RSS1 representing the RSS to the smaller
