Term
Scedasatic Function
Definition
Given an independent variable x and a dependent variable y, the scedastic function is the conditional variance of y given x. That variance of the conditional distribution is:

var[y|x] = E[(y-E[y|x])2|x]

var[y|x] = integral or sum of (y-E[y|x])2f(y|x) dy

var[y|x] = E[y2|x] - (E[y|x])2
Term
Population R-squared
Definition
1-[Var(u)/Var(y)]
Term
Estimates of the population R-squared
Definition
R-squared or adjusted R-squared (i.e. goodness-of-fit measures)
Term
What does heteroskeasticity cause?
Definition
The usual standard errors, t statistics, and F statistics to be invalid, even in large samples, with or without normality
