Phil Steitz commented on MATH-857:
----------------------------------

In general, we don't like to add @author tags or to embed individual copyright notices in the code.  Are you OK removing the copyright notice from the source file?  If we end up committing something based on this, we will include you in our contributors file.

It would also make it a little easier on us in reviewing and applying your contributions if you could create them using "svn diff" against a checkout of the current source code.  Also, as noted on the mailing list, running the checkstyle checks and fixing the formatting problems will speed things up.

You can also delete obsolete attachments from this ticket so we don't get confused about what the most recent patch is.

Thanks!

> Multicollinearity is a statistical phenomenon in which two or more predictor variables in any multiple regression model are highly correlated. Tolerance and VIF are checks that allows to avoid optimization failes due to "inability to converge". Most of the times, the major packages (SAS, SPSS etc), have a check prior to running the model and they exclude variables that might cause these kind of problems. It is quite a useful tool to be in common maths.
