white_test: White's heteroskedasticity test

In jcpernias/ec1027: Data and Functions for the course EC1027 - Econometrics I

Description

Compute the heteroskedasticity test proposed by White, H. (1980): "A Heteroskedasticity-Consistent Covariance Matrix Estimator and a Direct Test for Heteroskedasticity". Econometrica. 48(4), 817–838.

Usage

white_test(model, full = TRUE, chisq = FALSE)

Arguments

model	an estimated model returned by lm or similar functions.
full	if TRUE add the regressors, their squares and their cross products to the auxiliary regression. If FALSE use only the regressors and their squares.
chisq	if TRUE the LM statistic of the auxiliary regression is returned. By default is FALSE and the F statistic is computed.

Value

An object of class htest with components:

statistic

the value of the test statistic.

p.value

the p-value of the test.

parameter

degrees of freedom.

method

a character string indicating what type of test was performed.

data.name

a character string describing the model.

Examples

data("hprice1")

mod <- lm(price ~ sqrft + lotsize + bdrms, data = hprice1)
white_test(mod)
