'''Homoskedasticity''' means that the variance of the error term is constant and not correlated to any treatment or control variable. '''Homoskedasticity''' means that the variance of the error term is constant and not correlated to any predictors.
Line 13: Line 14:
Homoskedasticity means that the variance of the error term is constant and not correlated to any treatment or control variable. Mathematically, homoskedasticity and [[Econometrics/Exogeneity|exogeneity]] together can be expressed as:

{{attachment:exo.svg}}

The full set of variables is independently and normally distributed about 0. The covariance matrix is fully expressed as the [[LinearAlgebra/SpecialMatrices#Diagonal_Matrices|diagonal matrix]] of each term's variance.

Homoskedasticity

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


Meaning

Mathematically, homoskedasticity and exogeneity together can be expressed as:

exo.svg

The full set of variables is independently and normally distributed about 0. The covariance matrix is fully expressed as the diagonal matrix of each term's variance.

The opposite condition is heteroscedasticity.

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