    Heteroskedasticity Problem

    Multiplying an estimating equation by a correcting factor to correct heteroskedasticity may cause extra correlation to enter the model, which raises the R^2. This renders our ultimate regression results meaningless. True or false, or uncertain? Please provide an explanation.
