How to compare interpretatively different models for the conditional variance. Juutilainen I, R., J. Journal of Applied Statistics, 37(5):983-998, 2010.
abstract   bibtex   
This study considers regression-type models with heteroscedastic Gaussian errors. The conditional variance is assumed to depend on the explanatory variables via a parametric or non-parametric variance function. The variance function has usually been selected on the basis of the log-likelihoods of fitted models. However, log-likelihood is a difficult quantity to interpret --- the practical importance of differences in log-likelihoods have been difficult to assess. This study overcomes these difficulties by transforming the difference in log-likelihood to easily interpretative difference in the error of predicted deviation. In addition, methods for testing the statistical significance of the observed difference in test data log-likelihood are proposed.
