[R] SVY: variance inflation factor VIF with complex survey

[John Fox]

Dear Diana,

I'm not sure that I entirely understand your question, but the vif() function in the car package should work, I think, with objects produced by svyglm(), since the latter inherit from "lm" and since the vif.lm() method works from the covariance matrix of the coefficients.

I hope this helps,
 John
