Colinearity is the state where two variables are highly correlated and contain similiar information about the variance within a given dataset. To detect colinearity among variables, simply create a correlation matrix and find variables with large absolute values. In R use the corr function and in python this can by accomplished by using numpy's corrcoeffunction.

Multicolinearity on the other hand is more troublesome to detect because it emerges when three or more variables, which are highly correlated, are included within a model. To make matters worst multicolinearity can emerge even when isolated pairs of variables are not colinear.

A common R function used for testing regression assumptions and specifically multicolinearity is "VIF()" and unlike many statistical concepts, its formula is straightforward:

$$ V.I.F. = 1 / (1 - R^2). $$

The Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) is a measure of colinearity among predictor variables within a multiple regression. It is calculated by taking the the ratio of the variance of all a given model's betas divide by the variane of a single beta if it were fit alone.

Steps for Implementing VIF

Run a multiple regression.
Calculate the VIF factors.
Inspect the factors for each predictor variable, if the VIF is between 5-10, multicolinearity is likely present and you should consider dropping the variable.

5 rows × 51 columns

df = df[['annual_inc','loan_amnt', 'funded_amnt','annual_inc','dti']].dropna() #subset the dataframe

Step 1: Run a multiple regression

%%capture

#gather features

features = "+".join(df.columns - ["annual_inc"])

# get y and X dataframes based on this regression:

y, X = dmatrices('annual_inc ~' + features, df, return_type='dataframe')

Step 2: Calculate VIF Factors

# For each X, calculate VIF and save in dataframe

vif = pd.DataFrame()

vif["VIF Factor"] = [variance_inflation_factor(X.values, i) for i in range(X.shape[1])]

vif["features"] = X.columns

Step 3: Inspect VIF Factors

vif.round(1)

	VIF Factor	features
0	5.1	Intercept
1	1.0	dti
2	678.4	funded_amnt
3	678.4	loan_amnt

As expected, the total funded amount for the loan and the amount of the loan have a high variance inflation factor because they "explain" the same variance within this dataset. We would need to discard one of these variables before moving on to model building or risk building a model with high multicolinearity.
