For the heteroscedastic nonparametric regression model Yni = m(xni)+σ(xni)Є ni; i = 1; ...; n; we propose a new test procedure for testing that the regression function m is constant. The test statistic is modeled after the usual lack-of-fit statistic for constant regression in the case of replicated observations, and thus is very easy to compute. The asymptotic theory uses recent developments in the asymptotic theory for analysis of variance when the number of factor levels is large. Comparisons with competing procedures and analysis of a data set are included.
