st: how to tell if there is heteroscedasticity, thanks!

["Joanne Marshall" <jmarshall1982@hotmail.co.uk>]

hi stata fellow,

i am trying to run a heteroskedasticity test for my regression here, using 
command

estat imtest  (IM TEST)
estat hettest ( BREUSCH PAGAN)

and have got the following result:

Cameron & Trivedi's decomposition of IM-test

---------------------------------------------------
             Source |       chi2     df      p
---------------------+-----------------------------
 Heteroskedasticity |     167.27    155    0.2368
           Skewness |      45.45     18    0.0004
           Kurtosis |       9.72      1    0.0018
---------------------+-----------------------------
              Total |     222.44    174    0.0077
---------------------------------------------------

.. estat hettest

Breusch-Pagan / Cook-Weisberg test for heteroskedasticity
        Ho: Constant variance
        Variables: fitted values of wage

        chi2(1)      =   191.17
        Prob > chi2  =   0.0000


with the above information, how can i tell if my model is hetero or not 
then?
thanks.

regards
jo
