title: 'LMDT: Local Manifold Dispersion Test for Heteroskedasticity'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Implements the Local Manifold Dispersion Test (LMDT) for detecting complex,
  non-linear, and high-dimensional heteroskedasticity in linear regression models.
  LMDT measures the spectral smoothness (Dirichlet energy) of robust log-dispersion
  residuals over a self-tuning k-nearest neighbors graph Laplacian, as formulated
  in Jabbar (2026). The test statistic is asymptotically distribution-free with respect
  to error kurtosis and accommodates high-dimensional covariates (p > 50) via Gavish-Donoho
  optimal hard thresholding and supervised metric learning.
