Talk:Multicollinearity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reviewing The Bell Curve, black author Thomas Sowell wrote:

Perhaps the most intellectually troubling aspect of The Bell Curve is the authors' uncritical approach to statistical correlations. One of the first things taught in introductory statistics is that correlation is not causation. It is also one of the first things forgotten, and one of the most widely ignored facts in public policy research. The statistical term "multicollinearity," dealing with spurious correlations, appears only once in this massive book. [1]
