Some time ago I stumbled upon a problem connected with the labels of a clustering. The partition an instance belongs to, is mostly labeled through an integer ranging from 1 to K, where k is the number of clusters.

$The Heteroskedastic Probit Model$

Specification testing is an important part of econometric practice. However, from what I can see, few researchers perform heteroskedasticity tests after estimating probit/logit models. This is not a trivial point. Heteroskedasticity in these models can represent a major violation of the probit/logit specification, both of which assume homoskedastic errors. Thankfully, tests for heteroskedasticity in these
