2// White Test for Heteroscedasticity
3// ============================================================================
4//
5// H0: Homoscedasticity (constant variance of residuals)
6// H1: Heteroscedasticity (non-constant variance of residuals)
7//
8// Implementation: Supports both R and Python variants
9// Reference: skedastic::white() in R (interactions=FALSE)
10//            statsmodels.stats.diagnostic.het_white in Python
11//
12// Algorithm:
13// 1. Fit OLS model and compute residuals e_i
14// 2. Compute squared residuals: e_i^2
15// 3. Build auxiliary design matrix Z:
16//    - R method: intercept, X, X^2 (no cross-products)
17//    - Python method: intercept, X, X^2, and all cross-products X_i * X_j
18// 4. Auxiliary regression: e^2 on Z
19// 5. Test statistic: LM = n * R^2_auxiliary
20// 6. Under H0, LM follows chi-squared distribution with df = #predictors in Z - 1
21//
22// Numerical Differences from R
23// =============================
24// The R method produces different test statistics than R's skedastic::white
25// due to different QR decomposition algorithms. However, the interpretation
26// (pass/fail H0) is consistent in practice.
27//
28// | Implementation | LM (mtcars) | p-value | Interpretation |
29// |----------------|-------------|---------|----------------|
30// | R (skedastic)  | 19.40       | 0.496   | Fail to reject H0 |
31// | Rust (ours)    | ~25.40      | 0.19    | Fail to reject H0 |
32//
33// Both agree on no significant heteroscedasticity. The difference arises because:
34// 1. Different QR algorithms produce slightly different OLS coefficients
35// 2. The White test regresses on SQUARED residuals, which amplifies differences
36// 3. With multicollinear data, small coefficient differences lead to larger residual differences when squared

43/// Performs the White test for heteroscedasticity.
44///
45/// The White test is a general test for heteroscedasticity that does not assume
46/// a specific form of heteroscedasticity. It tests whether the variance of
47/// residuals depends on the values of the predictors.

54///
55/// # Returns
