Which of the following statements is correct regarding the multiple regression model?
A)The assumption var(e_i│X)=〖var(y_i│X)=σ〗^2 implies that the error variance is constant and therefore heteroscedastic.
B) The assumption var(e_i│X)=〖var(y_i│X)=σ〗_i^2 implies that the error variance is constant and therefore homoscedastic.
C) If var(e_i│X)=〖var(y_i│X)=σ〗_i^2 then the error variance may change from observation to observation and therefore heteroscedastic.
D) If var(e_i│X)=〖var(y_i│X)=σ〗^2 then the error variance may change from observation to observation and therefore homoscedastic.
Answer :
(C) If var(e_i / X) = then the error variance may change from observation to observation and therefore heteroscedastic.
Explanation:
The multiple regression model assumes that Var(e_i / X) = i.e. the variance of error term,given the values of , is constant and therefore homoscedastic.
If Var(e_i / X) = ,then the error variance may change from observation to observation and therefore heteroscedastic.
