We consider a nonparametric heteroscedastic time series regression model and suggest testing procedures to detect changes in the conditional variance function. The tests are based on a sequential marked empirical process and thus combine classical CUSUM tests with marked empirical process approaches known from goodness-of-fit testing. The tests are consistent against general alternatives of a change in the conditional variance function, a feature that classical CUSUM tests are lacking. We derive a simple limiting distribution and in the case of univariate covariates even obtain asymptotically distribution-free tests. We demonstrate the good performance of the tests in a simulation study and consider exchange rate data as a real data application.
