Re: Heteroscedasticity and mgcv. (Collin Lynch) The GAMLSS package can model heterogeneity in the scale parameter (e.g. standard deviastion) [and also heterogeity in skewness and kurtosis parameters].of the response variable distribution. For parametric models a generalized likelihood ratio test can be used to test whether the heterogeity is needed. Alternatively a generalized Akaike information criterion (GAIC) can be used to compare models. Robert Rigby...

Heteroscedasticity and mgcv.
I have a two part question one about statistical theory and the other about implementations in R. Thank you for all help in advance. (1) Am I correct in understanding that Heteroscedasticity is a problem for Generalized Additive Models as it is for standard linear models? I am asking particularly about the GAMs as implemented in the mgcv package. Based upon my online search it seems that some
