Suppose that the conditional variance is var(ui|Xi) = λh(Xi) where λ is a constant and h is a known function. The WLS estimator is
A) the same as the OLS estimator since the function is known
B) can only be calculated if you have at least 100 observations
C) the estimator obtained by first dividing the dependent variable and regressor by the square root of h and then regressing this modified dependent variable on the modified regressor using OLS
D) the estimator obtained by first dividing the dependent variable and regressor by h and then regressing this modified dependent variable on the modified regressor using OLS
