Does the correlation among the independent variables post a problem in a multiple linear regression model? Explain
Yes, correlation among the independent variables is a big issue in multiple linear regression model.
One of the main problem related to the correlation among the independent variable in multiple linear regression is that one of the important predictor(independent variable) become insignificant due to correlation with other predictors. Due to this problem, correlation coefficient value gets reduced or sometimes its value gets reversed, i.e. it become negative from positive and sometimes becomes positive from negative correlation.
Addition and removal of predictor variables create major issue in the regression analysis because adding or removing one variable shows significant change in other variable's values.
