Der Varianzinflationsfaktor VIF überschreitet nicht

You will mostly use this in written reports or formal presentations. It usually follows a specific number, like 5 or 10. You place the phrase at the end of a sentence to justify your results. For example, you might say: 'The VIF does not exceed 5.' In German, the verb überschreitet comes after the noun. It sounds very professional and precise. You are essentially giving a 'technical stamp of approval' to your work.

This is a heavy hitter for academic writing. Use it in your Master’s thesis or a scientific publication. It is also perfect for business meetings involving data science or market research. If a colleague asks if your regression model is biased, this is your shield. It shows you have done your homework. You are speaking the language of experts here.

Do not use this at a bar. Unless you are having a very nerdy date with a statistician, it will kill the vibe. It is way too formal for texting friends about weekend plans. If you use it to describe your personal life, people will think you have spent too much time in the lab. Avoid it in any context where 'normal' human emotions are the priority.

Germany has a deep-rooted culture of Ingenieurwesen (engineering) and scientific rigor. Precision is not just a stereotype; it is a linguistic requirement. Using specific terms like Varianzinflationsfaktor shows you respect the methodology. In German academia, being vague is a cardinal sin. This phrase provides the exactness that German professors and managers crave. It is about building trust through mathematical certainty.

You might hear Der VIF-Wert liegt unter... (The VIF value lies below...). Another common one is Es liegt keine Multikollinearität vor (No multicollinearity is present). If you want to be even more formal, try Der VIF-Koeffizient bleibt unterhalb der kritischen Grenze. All of these mean your data is safe. They just vary slightly in how 'fancy' they sound.
