Tests for the equality of conditional variance functions in nonparametric regression

In this paper we are interested in checking whether the conditional variances are equal in k ≥ 2 location-scale regression models. Our procedure is fully nonparametric and is based on the comparison of the error distributions under the null hypothesis of equality of variances and without making use...
