A modelling framework for regression with collinearity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This study addresses a fundamental, yet overlooked, gap between standard theory and empirical modelling practices in the OLS regression model with collinearity. In fact, while an estimated model in practice is desired to have stability and efficiency in its "individual OLS estimates", itself has no capacity to identify and control the collinearity in and hence no theory including model selection process (MSP) would fill this gap unless is controlled in view of sampling theory. In this paper, first introducing a new concept of "empirically effective modelling" (EEM), we propose our EEM methodology (EEM-M) as an integrated process of two MSPs with data given. The first MSP uses only, called the XMSP, and pre-selects a class scrD of models with individually inefficiency-controlled and collinearity-controlled OLS estimates, where the corresponding two controlling variables are chosen from predictive standard error of each estimate. Next, defining an inefficiency-collinearity risk index for each model, a partial ordering is introduced onto the set of models to compare without using , where the better-ness and admissibility of models are discussed. The second MSP is a commonly used MSP that uses , and evaluates total model performance as a whole by such AIC, BIC, etc. to select an optimal model from scrD. Third, to materialize the XMSP, two algorithms are proposed.
