mc.plot: Plot of VIF and Eigenvalues

In mctest: Multicollinearity Diagnostic Measures

Description

Plot of VIF and Eigenvalues for detection of multicollinearity among regressors. The VIF and Eigenvalues are also displayed on graph. Eigenvalues plot can be displayed with or without inclusion of intercept term.

Usage

mc.plot(mod, Inter = FALSE, vif = 10, ev = 0.01, ...)

Arguments

mod	A model object, not necessarily type lm
Inter	Whether to include or exclude Intercept term, by default Inter=FALSE.
vif	Threshold of VIF and will appear as horizontal line on VIF plot. The default value is vif=10.
ev	Threshold of Eigenvalues and will appear as horizontal line on Eigenvalues plot. The default value is ev=0.01.
...	Extra argument(s) if used will be ignored.

Details

mc.plot function draw graphs of VIF and Eigenvalues for graphical detection of collinearity among regression. Horizontal line for VIF and Eigenvalues is drawn as indication of threshold values of both VIF and Eigenvalues for testing the multicollinearity.

Value

Don't return any thing, it displays plot.

Examples

## Hald Cement data
data(Hald)
model <- lm(y~X1+X2+X3+X4, data = as.data.frame(Hald))

## plot with default threshold of VIF and Eigenvalues with no intercept
mc.plot(model)

## plot with default threshold of VIF and Eigenvalues with intercept
mc.plot(model, Inter = TRUE)

## plot with specific threshold of VIF and Eigenvalues with no intercept
mc.plot(model, vif = 5, ev = 20)

## plot with specific threshold of VIF and Eigenvalues with intercept
mc.plot(model, vif = 5, ev = 20, Inter = TRUE)
