How to Fix Heteroscedasticity
- Transform the dependent variable. One way to fix heteroscedasticity is to transform the dependent variable in some way.
- Redefine the dependent variable. Another way to fix heteroscedasticity is to redefine the dependent variable.
- Use weighted regression.
What does Homoscedasticity mean in regression?
Homoskedastic (also spelled “homoscedastic”) refers to a condition in which the variance of the residual, or error term, in a regression model is constant. That is, the error term does not vary much as the value of the predictor variable changes.
What is the problem with heteroskedasticity?
Heteroskedasticity has serious consequences for the OLS estimator. Although the OLS estimator remains unbiased, the estimated SE is wrong. Because of this, confidence intervals and hypotheses tests cannot be relied on. In addition, the OLS estimator is no longer BLUE.
Does heteroskedasticity affect R Squared?
Does not affect R2 or adjusted R2 (since these estimate the POPULATION variances which are not conditional on X)
How does heteroskedasticity affect hypothesis testing?
The heteroskedasticity affects the results in two ways: The OLS estimator is not efficient (it does not have minimum variance). The standard errors reported on the SHAZAM output do not make any adjustment for the heteroskedasticity – so incorrect conclusions may be made if they are used in hypothesis tests.
Does Heteroskedasticity affect R Squared?
What does robust regression do?
In robust statistics, robust regression is a form of regression analysis designed to overcome some limitations of traditional parametric and non-parametric methods. Regression analysis seeks to find the relationship between one or more independent variables and a dependent variable.
What is the difference between Heteroskedasticity and homoscedasticity?
Simply put, homoscedasticity means “having the same scatter.” For it to exist in a set of data, the points must be about the same distance from the line, as shown in the picture above. The opposite is heteroscedasticity (“different scatter”), where points are at widely varying distances from the regression line.

Does R Squared change with robust standard errors?
Also — note that the R^2 and adjusted R^2 values are the same regardless of whether or not you use robust standard errors. So, if you also run regression without the robust option the value is already reported for you.
