Highly correlated variables in regression models lead to inaccurate predictions.
Multicollinearity, when variables in a linear regression model are highly correlated, can cause issues with parameter estimates and model interpretation. This study reviews the problem, discusses ways to detect multicollinearity, and emphasizes the importance of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in identifying it. The researchers then applied these methods to a real dataset to diagnose multicollinearity in a linear regression model.
