How Does Multicollinearity Affect Toxicological Studies?
In toxicological studies, multicollinearity can lead to unreliable estimates of the effects of chemical exposures. When variables are multicollinear, it becomes challenging to determine which variable is actually influencing the outcome. This can lead to misleading conclusions about the toxicity of a substance or the effectiveness of a treatment. Furthermore, it can inflate the variance of the coefficient estimates and make the model sensitive to small changes in the data.
