[edit] Requested move
Homoscedasticity → Homoskedasticity – The complementary concept page is spelled "Heteroskedasticity" and is significantly more extensive than this one. Since there seems to be no generally-accepted spelling, this seems as reasonable a criteria for maintaining consistency as any. (Personally, I like the way the 'c' looks, but I'm not zealous about it and am willing to follow the established trend.) I would have just moved it myself, except that I earlier went and created a redirect which is blocking the move, before thinking better of it. Arvedui 23:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose Move Heteroskedasticity instead. Just because one article cannot spell classicisizing names correctly is no reason to spread the error. Septentrionalis 05:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, set it up then and I'll vote in favor. Otherwise, there really doesn't seem to be a generally-accepted "correct" spelling on this score, so moving the shorter one seems the most reasonable alternate criterion. --Arvedui 22:48, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology
What's the meaning of scedast or skedast? If it's stated that one version is prefered to the other based on ethymologies, I think there should be some etymological explanation of the root used to construct the word! Albmont 12:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
