mc.plot: Plot of VIF and Eigenvalues

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.

Value

Don't return any thing, it displays plot.

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.
