Abstract
Abstract Diagnostics for heteroscedasticity in linear regression models have been intensively investigated in the literature. However, limited attention has been paid on how to identify covariates associated with heteroscedastic error variances. This problem is critical in correctly modelling the variance structure in weighted least squares estimation, which leads to improved estimation efficiency. We propose covariate‐specific statistics based on information ratios formed as comparisons between the model‐based and sandwich variance estimators. A two‐step diagnostic procedure is established, first to detect heteroscedasticity in error variances, and then to identify covariates the error variance structure might depend on. This proposed method is generalized to accommodate practical complications, such as when covariates associated with the heteroscedastic variances might not be associated with the mean structure of the response variable, or when strong correlation is present amongst covariates. The performance of the proposed method is assessed via a simulation study and is illustrated through a data analysis in which we show the importance of correct identification of covariates associated with the variance structure in estimation and inference.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
