where (R_j^2) is the coefficient of determination from regressing (X_j) on the remaining predictors. Subsequent work refined VIF thresholds (Fox & Monette, 1992) and linked VIFs to the eigenstructure of the correlation matrix (Gunst & Mason, 1979). where (R_j^2) is the coefficient of determination from
