Collinearity
noun
The state of being collinear, where three or more points lie on the same straight line.
In geometry, we learn that if points A, B, and C are collinear, they lie on the same line.

Often appears as...
- collinearity condition
- check for collinearity
Usage tips
Neutral
collinear points, linear relationship, geometric alignment
noun
A condition in regression analysis where two or more predictor variables are closely correlated, causing difficulties in estimating their individual effects.
Collinearity among the variables in the regression model distorted the results.

Often appears as...
- detecting collinearity
- impact of collinearity
Usage tips
Formal
multicollinearity, variable correlation, regression analysis
