By Variance Inflation Factor?

Variance inflation factor measures how much the behavior (variance) of an independent variable is influenced, or inflated, by its interaction/correlation with the other independent variables. Variance inflation factors allow a quick measure of how much a variable is contributing to the standard error in the regression.

What is variance inflation factor formula?

Y = β0 + β1 X1 + β2 X 2 + ... + βk Xk + ε. The remaining term, 1 / (1 − Rj2) is the VIF. It reflects all other factors that influence the uncertainty in the coefficient estimates.

What is an acceptable variance inflation factor?

Most research papers consider a VIF (Variance Inflation Factor) > 10 as an indicator of multicollinearity, but some choose a more conservative threshold of 5 or even 2.5.
