We provide the asymptotic moments of the statistic under general case of shifts in the unconditional variance. We find that these moments remain unchanged even under high abrupt changes. Finally a complementary test is proposed %G English %L hal-00678525 %U https://hal.science/hal-00678525 %~ SHS %~ UNIV-PARIS1 %~ ENS-PARIS %~ ENPC %~ PSE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EHESS %~ CES %~ AO-ECONOMIE %~ PARISTECH %~ IML %~ I2M %~ PSL %~ INRAE %~ PSE-POST-PRINT %~ ENS-PSL %~ EHESS-PSL %~ JSE2024
