A nonparametric test based on bootstrap for detecting multicollinearity is proposed: MTest. This gives statistical support to two of the most famous methods in applied work: Klein’s rule and Variance Inflation Factor (VIF essential multicollinearity). As part procedure, MTest generates a distribution coefficient determination which: i) lets researcher assess by setting significance "alfa", or m...
