Multicollinearity means “correlations among some variables are so high that certain
mathematical operations are either impossible or the results are unstable because some
denominators are close to zero.
To find out Multicollinearity we have used SMC (Squared Multiple Correlations). SMC
value more than 0.90 indicates the existence of Multicollinearity and less than reports lack of
Multicollinearity. Here researcher found SMC score less than 0.90 that shows the lack of
Multicollinearity.
