Prakash, returning to your original question, I see no point at all to
check for hetroscedasticity after -probit- simply because this problem
is inherent in the family of models with binary dependent variables.
Take, for example, the so called LPM (linear probability model), where
the dependent variable is derived from Binomical distribution (which
is by itself an approximation to the Normal distribution, from which
the probit model is derived). Every elementary Econometric textbook
(e.g. Jan Kmenta, Elements of Econometrics, 1997, pp. 548-549), will
show you a very simple proof revealing the fact that the LPM is
inherently heteroscdastic, where the variance of the random
disturbance term equals yhat(1-yhat) and yhat is the vector of
predicted values
My suggestion is simply not to bother, but just to run the model with
correction to this inherent heteroscedasticity.
The simple version could be to run a simple regression, i.e., the LPM,
to construct a vector of predictions, and then to use the predictions
in order to weight the observations based on 1/sqrt((yhat(1-yhat))
BTW: In this way you are killing two birds, because incorporating the
square root of the expression yhat(1-yhat) will make sure to keep the
boundaries of the probability between 0 to 1.
