Detecting multicollinearity
In this exercise, you will check for multicollinearity among all variables by using the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF). You can calculate the VIF using the vif() function from the car package.
The VIF values are available in the GVIF column of the output and are usually printed in the exponential format. If you are not familiar with this format, you can use the format() function:
sample_vif_value <- 2.213e+10
format(sample_vif_value, scientific = FALSE)
"22130000000"

Instructions
- Load the
carpackage. - Check for multicollinearity in the model (
multi_log) you built in a previous exercise. - Which variable has the highest VIF? Assign the variable name as a string to
highest.
