Yes, I knew I'd written that... It took me a while to find it, but
the sole addition I could find in your post was the statement
VIF=10 is based on empirical data.
If this is indeed your intended comment, where can those data, or an
adequate description of them, be found?
(The value "10" still looks to me like an arbitrary out-of-the-blue
rule-of-thumb sort of value. I bet that if we had six digits on each
hand instead of five, the value used would still be reported "10", but
would mean a value 20% larger. Wonder what value the Babylonians, with
their hexagesimal number system, would have used?...)
