Homoskedasticity

Homoskedasticity means that the variance of the error term is constant and not correlated to any predictors.


Description

Mathematically, homoskedasticity and exogeneity together can be expressed as:

The full set of variables is independently and normally distributed about 0. The covariance matrix is fully specified as the diagonal matrix of variances.

The opposite condition is heteroscedasticity.

It can also be useful to express exogeneity as a conditional expectation like:
