similar to: how to use condition indexes to test multi-collinearity

Has anyone programmed condition indexes in R? I know that there is a function for variance inflation factors available in the car package; however, Belsley (1991) Conditioning Diagnostics (Wiley) notes that there are several weaknesses of VIFs: e.g. 1) High VIFs are sufficient but not necessary conditions for collinearity 2) VIFs don't diagnose the number of collinearities and 3) No one has

I've uploaded the R package "perturb" to CRAN. Perturb contains two programs for evaluating collinearity. "Colldiag" calculates condition indexes and variance decomposition proportions to detect and track down collinear sets of variables. "Perturb" takes a different approach. It re-estimates the model a specified number of times, adding random noise

Dear all, How can I test for collinearity in the predictor data set for multiple linear regression. Thanks Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, could anyone explain what am I doing wrong. When I use colldiag function from package perturb I get different Variance Decomposition Proportions matrix in R than in SAS, although the eigenvalues and indexes are the same. Thanks for your attention. Results: in R: eigen(cor(indep2)) $values [1] 4.197131e+00 6.674837e-01 9.462858e-02 4.070314e-02 5.323022e-05 colldiag(indep2,c=T)

Hi everyone, I'm trying to vectorize an application of lda to each 2D slice of a 3D array, but am running into trouble: It seems there are quite a few 2D slices that trigger either the "variables are collinear" warning, or worse, trigger a "variable appears to be constant within groups" error and fails (i.e., ceases computation rather than skips bad slice). There are

You are using a method that needs to estimate the covariance matrix of all the variables. If you have 80 variables, there are (80+1)*80/2 = 3240 variances and covariances to estimate. How many data points do you think you need to do that? Some people assume the covariance matrix is diagonal (i.e., assuming all the variables are uncorrelated). Even then you still have 80 variances to estimate.

I am running a logistic regression model with a random effect using lmer. I am uncertain how to check for collinearity between my parameters. I have already run cor() and linear regression for each combination of parameters, and all Rsqr values were <0.8….but I am analyzing ecological data so a 0.8 cutoff may be unrealistic. -is there a way to check variance inflation factors or tolerance

Hi, I am trying to find out a collinearity in explanatory variables with alias(). I creat a dataframe: dat <- ds[,sapply(ds,nlevels)>=2] dat$Y <- Response Explanatory variables are factor and response is continuous random variable. When I run a regression, I have the following error: fit <- aov( Y ~ . , data = dat) Error in "contrasts<-"(`*tmp*`, value =

Dear R users, Usually the variance-inflation factor, which is based on R^2, is used as a measure for multicollinearity. But, in contrast to OLS regression there is no robust R^2 available for MM-regressions in R. Do you know if an equivalent or an alternative nmeasure of multicollinearity is available for MM-regression in R? With best regards, Carsten Colombier Dr. Carsten Colombier Economist

Hi I have a set of data with both quantitative and categorical predictors. After scaling of response variable, i looked for multicollinearity (VIF values) among the predictors and removed the predictors who were hinding some of the other significant predictors. I'm curious to know whether the predictors (who are not significant) while doing simple 'lm' will be involved in

Is there a colinearty function implemented in R? I have tried help.search("colinearity") and help.search("collinearity") and have searched for "colinearity" and "collinearity" on http://www.rpad.org/Rpad/Rpad-refcard.pdf but with no success. Many thanks in advance, Peter Lauren.

I'm writing a program to perform linear regressions to estimate the number of bank teller transactions per hour of various types based upon day of week, time of day, week of month and several prices. I've got about 25,000 records in my dataset, 85 columns of transaction counts (used 1 at a time), about 50 columns of binary indicators (day, week, pay period, hour, branch), and a half dozen

Hello R-user I want to compute a multiple regression but I would to include a check for collinearity of the variables. Therefore I would like to use a ridge regression. I tried lm.ridge() but I don't know yet how to get p-values (single Pr() and p of the whole model) out of this model. Can anybody tell me how to get a similar output like the summary(lm(...)) output? Or if there is

Hi i need to create a model from 250 + variables with high collinearity, and only 17 data points (p = 250, n = 750). I would prefer to use Cp, AIC, and/or BIC to narrow down the number of variables, and then use VIF to choose a model without collinearity (if possible). I realize that having a huge p and small n is going to give me extreme linear dependency problems, but I *think* these model

Hello, in the paper "Avoiding the effects of concurvity in GAM's .." of Figueiras et al. (2003) it is mentioned that in GLM collinearity is taken into account in the calc of se but not in GAM (-> results in confidence interval too narrow, p-value understated, GAM S-Plus version). I haven't found any references to GAM and concurvity or collinearity on the R page. And I

I have a linear model y~x1+x2 of some data where the coefficient for x1 is higher than I would have expected from theory (0.7 vs 0.88) I wondered whether this would be an artifact due to x1 and x2 being correlated despite that the variance inflation factor is not too high (1.065): I used perturbation analysis to evaluate collinearity library(perturb)

Dear all, I have one dependent variable y and two independent variables x1 and x2 which I would like to use to explain y. x1 and x2 are design factors in an experiment and are not correlated with each other. For example assume that: x1 <- rbind(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3) x2 <- rbind(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) cor(x1,x2) The problem is that I do not only want to analyze the effect of x1 and x2 on y but
