To detect heteroscedasticity for a multiple linear OLS regression (no time dependencies): What if the residuals vs. fitted values plot shows well behaved residuals (cloud) - but the some of the x versus residuals plots are a megaphone? Also, it seems that textbooks and internet tutorials in R do not agree what is the best plot for detecting heteroscedasticity. What do you use? I found so far: - Y vs X - Res vs X - Res vs Fitted Y - Partial regression plot and lots of standardized/studentized/partial plots. Thank you very much in advance! Nicole - Nicole Janz, PhD Cand.
