What is multicollinearity and how does it affect simple linear regression?
- It is the correlation between dependent variables and it has no effect on regression
- It is the correlation between errors and it makes the regression model more accurate
- It is the correlation between independent variables and it can cause instability in the regression coefficients
- It is the correlation between residuals and it causes bias in the regression coefficients
Multicollinearity refers to a high correlation among independent variables in a regression model. It does not reduce the predictive power or reliability of the model as a whole, but it can cause instability in the estimation of individual regression coefficients, making them difficult to interpret.
