Some Comments on Multicollinearity in Regression

Andrew Harvey

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1977, vol. 26, issue 2, 188-191

Abstract: In contrast to the views put forward in a recent paper, the following points are made concerning multicollinearity in regression models: firstly, multicollinearity is almost invariably a problem of degree rather than kind; and, secondly, the search for an appropriate functional form for a regression equation should not be confused with the treatment of multicollinearity. Finally, some comments are made on the role of prior detrending in both linear and nonlinear models.
