Graphical Views of Suppression and Multicollinearity in Multiple Linear Regression

Friedman, Lynn, Wall, Melanie·2005·The American Statistician

Abstract

This article briefly reviews classical suppressor variables, suppression and enhancement, opposing signs of regression coefficients and zero-order correlations, and multicollinearity. A concise and easily understood graphical structure for the study of suppressor variables and enhancementis provided. Classical suppressor variables are shown to be more valuable than other nonsuppressor variables under some conditions. Errors using ratios of correlations in the exposition of suppression are noted. Multicollinearity is shown not to affect standard errors of regression coefficientsin ways previously taught.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
