linearmodels.iv.covariance.HeteroskedasticCovariance

class HeteroskedasticCovariance(x, y, z, params, debiased=False, kappa=1)

Covariance estimation for heteroskedastic data

Parameters

xndarray

Model regressors (nobs by nvar)

yndarray

Series ,modeled (nobs by 1)

zndarray

Instruments used for endogenous regressors (nobs by ninstr)

paramsndarray

Estimated model parameters (nvar by 1)

debiasedbool

Flag indicating whether to use a small-sample adjustment

kappafloat

Value of kappa in k-class estimator

Notes

Covariance is estimated using

\[n^{-1} V^{-1} \hat{S} V^{-1}\]

where

\[\hat{S} = n^{-1} \sum_{i=1}^n \hat{\epsilon}_i^2 \hat{x}_i^{\prime} \hat{x}_i\]

where \(\hat{\gamma}=(Z'Z)^{-1}(Z'X)\) and \(\hat{x}_i = z_i\hat{\gamma}\). If debiased is true, then \(S\) is scaled by n / (n-k).

\[V = n^{-1} X'Z(Z'Z)^{-1}Z'X\]

where \(X\) is the matrix of variables included in the model and \(Z\) is the matrix of instruments, including exogenous regressors.
