Dear Statalisters:
I have a question concerning multicollinearity in a logit regression.
How could I check multicollinearity? I tried several things.
- Correlation matrix: several independent variables are correlated.
- Logit regression followed by -vif, uncentered-. I get high VIFs
(maximum = 10), making me think about a high correlation.
- OLS regression of the same model (not my primary model, but just to
see what happens) followed by -vif-: I get very low VIFs (maximum = 2).
- -collin- (type findit collin) with the independent variables: I get
very low VIFs (maximum = 2).
What is better? I am puzzled with the -vif, uncentered- after the logit
which returns very high VIFs.
Best regards
Herve Stolowy
