vif.ev: Variance Inflation Factor of Eigenvectors

In spfilteR: Semiparametric Spatial Filtering with Eigenvectors in (Generalized) Linear Models

Variance Inflation Factor of Eigenvectors

Description

Calculate the variance inflation factor (VIF) of the eigenvectors in the spatial filter.

Usage

vif.ev(x = NULL, evecs, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x	vector/ matrix of regressors (default = NULL)
evecs	(selected) eigenvectors
na.rm	remove missing values in covariates (TRUE/ FALSE)

Value

Returns a vector containing the VIF for each eigenvector.

Note

This function assumes a linear model which ensures the uncorrelatedness of the eigenvectors. Note that regression weights or the link function used in generalized linear models can corrupt this property.
