Use the dataset RuralLand.xls to test for Multicollinearity. Price is observed land price per acre excluding improvements; WL is the proportion of acreage that is wooded; DA is the distance from parcel to Sarasota airport; D75 is the distance form parcel to I-75; A is acreage of parcel; and MO is month in which the parcel was sold. Price is assumed to be dependent on these other factors.

Please provide a thorough walk through on analysis and any testing done as opposed to just posting the answers.

Expert Solution

Given the dataset, the following R-script can be used to run the regression and derive VIF using the R-package 'car' as shown below.

The results can be found below. As observed, all the VIF are less than 5. Hence, in this particular case, collinearity is not serious.
