9Variance inflation factor VIFk
The variance inflation factor quantifies how
much the variance of the estimated regression
coefficient is inflated by the existence of
multicollinearity.
The theory
The estimate
10Variance inflation factor VIFk
To get the theoretical VIF4,
, that Minitab reports,
we need to multiply the ratio of the variance
estimates by

18.7?
12Is the variance of b2 inflated by a factor of
18.7?
