medium · FRM Part 1

An analyst plots the residuals of a regression against an explanatory variable and notices a 'fan-shaped' pattern where the spread of residuals increases with X. What does this plot suggest?

  1. The regressor X is perfectly correlated with the error term.
  2. The residuals are positively autocorrelated.
  3. The model suffers from heteroskedasticity.
  4. There is a non-linear relationship that OLS is missing.
