Homogeneity vs Homoscedacity

Greek roots help us better understand hard to pronounce statistical terms such as Homogeneity and Homoscedacity. Simply stated "homo" means same and "scedacity or skedastikós" means to scatter and "geneity" means kind or stock. Homoscedacity compares the means of multivariate (two or more groups) for equal levels of variability, while homogeneity is used for the same value of the mean of univariate analyses.
