Standard Stepwise Regression Is a Good Way of Identifying Potential

question 110

True/False

Standard stepwise regression is a good way of identifying potential multicollinearity problems since we are able to see the impact on the model at each step that occurs when a new variable is added to the model. For instance, if bringing in a new variable causes the sign to change on a previously entered variable, we have evidence of multicollinearity.
