For the benefit of all us hillbilly racists who may live in dry counties and
hate Tubbyball: Collinearity refers to a linear relationship between two
explanatory variables. Multicollinearity means that three or more variables
are correlated, but it is often used to describe correlation amongst any
number of variables. Now that all of that has been explained--let us all
hope there is no collinear relationship between Billyball and Tubbyball.
