  1. VIFs calculated for all variables included and after excluding specific variables. The Intercept row represents the VIF for the model intercept and is influenced by the other features. High VIF values indicate potential multi-collinearity among predictors, with VIFs above 10 generally considered problematic. N/A indicates that the variable was excluded from the respective model.
