Assume you have two independent variables and you found that the coefficient of determination between the two independent variables is 0.20. Based on this information, there no reason to suspect the existence of collinearity. Use the Variance Inflationary Factor (VIF) to answer the question. True False

Solution

True. The Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) is a measure of collinearity among predictor variables within a multiple regression. It is calculated as the ratio of the overall model variance to the variance of a model that includes only a single independent variable.

In this case, the coefficient of determination (R^2) between the two independent variables is 0.20. This means that only 20% of the variance in one variable is explained by the other variable.

The VIF for each predictor is calculated as 1/(1-R^2). So in this case, VIF = 1/(1-0.20) = 1.25.

As a rule of thumb, a VIF value that exceeds 5 or 10 indicates a problematic amount of collinearity. Here, the VIF is well below these thresholds, suggesting that collinearity is not a concern. Therefore, the statement is true.
