similar to: dealing with multicollinearity

In searching the R help archives I find a number of postings in April of 2005, but nothing since then. If readers are aware of more recent contributions addressing the problems arising from multicollinearity (such as with the bootstrap, jackknife, or other techniques) I would appreciate a reference. Thank you, Ben Fairbank [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I need a bit of guidance on tests and methods to look for multicollinearity and Endogeniety while using plspm Pl help ------------------ T&R ... Deva [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users, I'm analysing some data, and I'm using an lme function. I have a problem with choosing the right order for three of my explanatory variables, which shows collinearity. Is there any rules to make the decision?(r.squared?) Or it's better if I choose the order, that I think gives me more information about the data? Say x1 is the variable with the highest r.squared, x3

I''m running brglm with binomial loguistic regression. The perhaps multicollinearity-related feature(s) are: (1) the k IVs are all binary categorical, coded as 0 or 1; (2) each row of the IVs contains exactly C (< k) 1''s; (3) k IVs, there are n * k unique rows; (4) when brglm is run, at least 1 IV is reported as involving a singularity. I''ve tried recoding the n

Dear everyone, I'm student of Masters in Statistics (Actuarial) from Central University of Rajasthan, India. I am doing a major project work as a part of the degree. My major project deals with fitting a glm model for the data of car insurance. I'm facing the problem of multicollinearity for this data which is visible by the plotting of data. But I'm not able to test it. In the case

I am working on a nlme model that has multiple fixed effects (linear and nonlinear) with a nonlinear (asymptotic) random effect. asymporig<-function(x,th1,th2)th1*(1-exp(-exp(th2)*x)) asymporigb<-function(x,th1b,th2b)th1b*(1-exp(-exp(th2b)*x)) mod.vol.nlme<-nlme(fa20~(ah*habdiv+ads*ds+ads2*ds2+at*trout)+asymporig(da.p,th1,th2)+ asymporigb(vol,th1b,th2b),

Dear R users, I have a problem with multicollinearity in mixed models and I am using lmer in package lme4. From previous mailing list, I learn of a reply "http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch/msg38537.html" which states that if not for interpretation but just for prediction, multicollinearity does not matter much. However, I am using mixed model to interpret something,

Dear all, I would like to perform a regression tree analysis on a dataset with multicollinear variables (as climate variables often are). The questions that I am asking are: 1- Is there any particular statistical problem in using multicollinear variables in a regression tree? 2- Multicollinear variables should appear as alternate splits. Would it be more accurate to present these alternate

Dear all, When analyzing data from a climate change experiment using linear mixed-effects models, I recently came across a situation where: - the summary(model) showed a significant difference between the levels of a two-level factor, - while the anova(model) showed no significance for that factor (see below). My question now is: Is the anova.lme() approach correct for that model? And why does

dear all, I am a new comer to R and statistic. Now I have a little confuse about the package pls. I have to use 5 components to form a model. There are strong relationship between some of the components, which leads to the changes of the sign of each coeficeince, of course this is unwanted when using the normal regression way. So I choose the way of PLS, which is good at solve this kind of

Dear R users, I am using lmer combined with AIC model selection and averaging (in the MuMIn package) to try and assess how isotope values (which indicate diet) vary within a population of animals. I have multiple measures from individuals (variable 'Tattoo') and multiple individuals within social groups within 4 locations (A, B, C ,D) crucially I am interested if there are

Hello, I am fitting a coxph model with factors. I am running into problems when using 'survfit'. I am unsure how R is treating the factors when I fit, say: > DATA<-data.frame(time.sec,done,f.pom=factor(f.pom),po,vo) > final<-coxph(Surv(time.sec,done)~f.pom*vo+po,data=DATA) > final.surv<-survfit((final), individual=T,conf.type="log-log")

Dear all R-users, I wanted to fit a Garch(1,1) model to a dataset by: >garch1 = garch(na.omit(dat)) But I got a warning message while executing, which is: >Warning message: >NaNs produced in: sqrt(pred$e) The garch parameters that I got are: > garch1 Call: garch(x = na.omit(dat)) Coefficient(s): a0 a1 b1 1.212e-04 1.001e+00 1.111e-14 Can any one

Folks, The contour() function wants x and y to be in increasing order. I have a situation where I have a grid in x and y, and associated z values, which looks like this: x y z [1,] 0.00 20 1.000 [2,] 0.00 30 1.000 [3,] 0.00 40 1.000 [4,] 0.00 50 1.000 [5,] 0.00 60 1.000 [6,] 0.00 70 1.000 [7,] 0.00 80 0.000 [8,] 0.00 90

Folks, A few days ago, I had asked a question on this mailing list about making a contour plot where a function z(x,y) is evaluated on a grid of (x,y) points, and the data structure at hand is a simple table of (x,y,z) points. As usual, R has wonderful resources (and subtle complexity) in doing this, and the gurus of the list showed me the way. Here's a complete working example. One might
