“…Secondly, multicollinearity shows a wider confidence interval which has the tendency to produce a false negative result, known as an error of omission in hypothesis testing (Qasim et al 2020). Some researchers have come with diverse way to contend with multicollinearity in linear regression Model (LRM) see E.G., Hoerl & Kennard (1970), Liu (2003), Kibria & Lukman (2020), Ozkale & Kaciranlar (2007), Suhail et al, (2020), Ugwuowo et al (2021), , Perveen & Suhail, (2021), Babar et al, (2021), , Algamal et al (2023), Wasim et al, (2023), Abonazel et al (2023) and . Hoerl & Kennard (1970) proposed the ridge estimator to handle high correlation in the LRM.…”
