Robust Tests for Heteroscedasticity Based on Regression Quantiles

https://www.jstor.org/stable/1912528
p. 43-62

Gilbert Bassett, Jr., Roger Koenker

A new class of tests for heteroscedasticity in linear models based on the regression quantile statistics of Koenker and Bassett [17] is introduced. In contrast to classical methods based on least-squares residuals, the new tests are robust to departures from Gaussian hypotheses on the underlying error process of the model.
