Heteroskedasticity is relevant in cases in which you calculate a standard error for the estimated coefficients. For instance for a regression model with a single independent variable this would be for the slope coefficient: $$SE(\hat{\beta_1}) = \sigma \left(\frac{1}{\sum_i(x_i - \bar{x})^2}\right)$$ with (see this for more details)  \hat{\sigma}^2 = \frac{...

It also applies to other methods, i.e. not just linear regression. For example, ANOVA and T-test also depend on homogeneity of variance. One method to check the homogeneity of variance, compatible with the one-way ANOVA, is the Barlett's test.

The notation $D_\mathrm{KL}(P \| Q)$ is pretty much standard for the Kullback-Leibler divergence. There is an interesting discussion on Mathematics SE on the reasons for the fairly unusual notation used for divergences. In general, $x \sim G(z, c)$ means "$x$ is a random variable distributed according to $G(z, c)$". In the subscript the author ...

Yes - it is $d\times l$. There would be 6 $β$ coefficients for 2*3: $β_1x_1 + β_2x_1^2 + β_3x_2 + β_4x_2^2 + β_5x_3 + β_6x_3^2$ That does not include an intercept or any interaction terms.

One option would be look at conditional probability based on percentiles. First, find percentiles based on all the data. For example, 99th percentile is 1432 milliseconds. Then, find percent of a specific user request above that threshold. For example U1 has 50% of requests above 99th percentile. This could be made into a cross-tabs table for easier ...
