Correlation is an important statistical issue for the Ordinary Least Squares estimates and for data-reduction techniques, such as the Factor and the Principal Components analyses. In this paper we propose new indicators for the multicollinearity problem in the multiple linear regression model....

In this paper, we propose a new corrected variance inflation factor (VIF) measure to evaluate the impact of the correlation among the explanatory variables in the variance of the ordinary least squares estimators. We show that the real impact on variance can be overestimated by the traditional...
