Estimating heteroscedastic variance using a log transform and NN
In a paper I read, they are using a NN to estimate the heteroscedastic variance in a regression scenario (actually a bit more complicated than this, but irrelevant to the question). After they fit 1 ...

Why is Ω unknown in GLS?
We run OLS and found the Homoscedasticity is violated and Hence, we go for GLS.
But from variance-covariance of OLS's error - we have already found the Ω.
Now, if we want to estimate β coefficients ...
