Capturing high multi-collinearity in statsmodels in python

Capturing high multi-collinearity in statsmodels in python

To capture high multicollinearity in statsmodels in Python, you can calculate the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) for each predictor variable in your regression model. VIF measures how much the variance of the estimated regression coefficient is increased due to multicollinearity. A high VIF value (typically greater than 5 or 10) indicates a high level of multicollinearity.

Here's how you can calculate VIF values using statsmodels:

import pandas as pd import numpy as np import statsmodels.api as sm from statsmodels.stats.outliers_influence import variance_inflation_factor # Load your dataset data = pd.read_csv('your_dataset.csv') # Select predictor variables (X) and the target variable (y) X = data[['predictor1', 'predictor2', 'predictor3']] y = data['target'] # Add a constant to the predictor matrix X = sm.add_constant(X) # Fit the multiple linear regression model model = sm.OLS(y, X).fit() # Calculate VIF for each predictor variable vif = pd.DataFrame() vif["Variable"] = X.columns vif["VIF"] = [variance_inflation_factor(X.values, i) for i in range(X.shape[1])] print(vif)

In this example, replace 'your_dataset.csv' with the path to your dataset file, and adjust the predictor variables and target variable accordingly. The code calculates the VIF values for each predictor variable and displays them in a DataFrame.

High VIF values indicate high multicollinearity, which means that a predictor variable can be linearly predicted from the other predictor variables in the model. High multicollinearity can lead to unstable and less interpretable regression results.

If you find high VIF values, consider taking actions to address multicollinearity, such as removing one of the correlated predictors, transforming variables, or using regularization techniques like Ridge or Lasso regression to mitigate the impact of multicollinearity.
