Applies the Ljung-Box test to squared residuals.

Usage

performMcLeodLiTest(model, lags = 10)

Details

Serial correlation in \(e_t^2\) indicates conditional heteroscedasticity. The Ljung-Box statistic is compared to a chi-square distribution with the chosen number of lags.

Arguments

model

an object of class lm.

lags

number of lags for the Ljung-Box test.

Value

An object of class htest containing the test statistic, p-value and degrees of freedom.
