    ESTIMATION OF VARIANCE IN HETEROSCEDASTIC DATA Abstract Data which exhibit none constant variance is considered. Smoothing procedures are applied to estimate these none constant variances. In these smoothing methods the problem is to establish how much to smooth. The choice of the smoother and the choice of the bandwidth are explored. Kernel and Spline smoothers are compared using simulated data as well as real data. Although the two seem to work very closely, Kernel smoother comes out to be
