#' Collinearity diagnostics
#'
#' Variance inflation factor, tolerance, eigenvalues and condition indices.
#'
#' @param model An object of class \code{glm}.
#'
#' @details
#' Collinearity implies two variables are near perfect linear combinations of
#' one another. Multicollinearity involves more than two variables. In the
#' presence of multicollinearity, regression estimates are unstable and have
#' high standard errors.
#'
#' \emph{Tolerance}
#'
#' Percent of variance in the predictor that cannot be accounted for by other predictors.
#'
#' \emph{Variance Inflation Factor}
#'
#' Variance inflation factors measure the inflation in the variances of the parameter estimates due to
#' collinearities that exist among the predictors. It is a measure of how much the variance of the estimated
#' regression coefficient \eqn{\beta_k}  is inflated by the existence of correlation among the predictor variables
#' in the model. A VIF of 1 means that there is no correlation among the kth predictor and the remaining predictor
#' variables, and hence the variance of \eqn{\beta_k} is not inflated at all. The general rule of thumb is that VIFs
#' exceeding 4 warrant further investigation, while VIFs exceeding 10 are signs of serious multicollinearity
#' requiring correction.
#'
#' \emph{Condition Index}
#'
#' Most multivariate statistical approaches involve decomposing a correlation matrix into linear
#' combinations of variables. The linear combinations are chosen so that the first combination has
#' the largest possible variance (subject to some restrictions), the second combination
#' has the next largest variance, subject to being uncorrelated with the first, the third has the largest
#' possible variance, subject to being uncorrelated with the first and second, and so forth. The variance
#' of each of these linear combinations is called an eigenvalue. Collinearity is spotted by finding 2 or
#' more variables that have large proportions of variance (.50 or more) that correspond to large condition
#' indices. A rule of thumb is to label as large those condition indices in the range of 30 or larger.
#'
#'
#' @return \code{blr_coll_diag} returns an object of class \code{"blr_coll_diag"}.
#' An object of class \code{"blr_coll_diag"} is a list containing the
#' following components:
#'
#' \item{vif_t}{tolerance and variance inflation factors}
#' \item{eig_cindex}{eigen values and condition index}
