In multiple regression, multicollinearity occurs when a predictor (independent variable) highly correlates with one or more of the other predictors in the model. Why it matters? Theoretically, as we can see in the equation, multiple regression uses more than one predictor to predict the value of the dependent variable. By the way, […]
