The adverse impact of multicollinearity in regression analysis is very well recognized and much attention to its effect is documented in the literature 111. This is because the zscore transformation does not change the correlation between two variables. When collinearity exists, parameter estimates may be incorrect, and.
Several eigenvalues are close to 0, indicating that the predictors are highly intercorrelated and that small changes in the data values may lead to large changes in the estimates of the coefficients.
