Collinearity and Least Squares Regression

In this paper we introduce certain numbers, called collinearity indices, which are useful in detecting near collinearities in regression problems. The coefficients enter adversely into formulas concerning signif- icance testing and the effects of errors in the regression variables. Thus they provide simple regression diagnostics, suitable for incorporation in regression packages.
