 Description: Collinearity is commonly overlooked by many statistics students. Collinearity 
diagnostics such as variation inflation factor and tolerance index are too 
abstract for intermediate statistics learners to comprehend. To alleviate this 
problem, we developed a multimedia program to visually illustrate how a 
regression model collapses when the predictors are both mathematically and 
logically inter-related, as well as how the variance is artificially inflated by 
a complex model. The program also show how centering scores can overcome collinearity in a regression model with an interaction term.
