Table 4

Collinearity diagnostics and Wald tests. The columns in the table correspond to the Initial, Expanded, and Final models plus the two intermediate models referred to as Temp1 and Temp2. In the body of the table we can distinguish three segments separated by rows of blanks. In the first segment we find vertical sequences of the symbols “ ” and “—” that indicate whether a given variable in the left stub is included in a given model. A second “x” in the columns corresponding to the Expanded, Temp1 and Temp2 models identifies the variables tested for significance as a block by Wald tests. The collinearity diagnostic CN, that stands for Condition Number, and Max(VIF), that stands for Maximum Variance Inflation Factor are located in the second segment of Table 4 the results of the Wald tests are shown in the third segment.
