Multicollinearity and autocorrelation are two critical issues encountered in applied regression analysis, both of which can significantly affect the validity and reliability of regression models. These problems often distort the statistical inferences made from the model and can lead to misleading conclusions if not properly addressed.

Multicollinearity refers to a situation in multiple regression models where two or more independent variables are highly correlated with each other. This high degree of inter-correlation makes it difficult to isolate the individual effects of each predictor variable on ________ ________ _______ ____ ______ ________ ______.

Write a short note on the problem of multicollinearity and autocorrelation.

State whether the following statements are true or false and also give the reason in support of your answer.

(i) We define three indicator variables for an explanatory variable with three categories.

(ii) If the coefficient of determination is 0.833, the number of observations and explanatory variables are 12 and 3, respectively, then the Adjusted R² will be 0.84.

(iii) For a simple regression model fitted on 15 observations, if we have h₁ = 0.37, then it is an indication to trace the leverage point in the regression model.

(iv) In a regression model equation is not rejected, then the variable X₁ will remain in the model.

(v) The logit link function is log [-log(1-π)].
