Fig. 2From: Multivariate pattern analysis: a method and software to reveal, quantify, and visualize predictive association patterns in multicollinear dataFlow diagram of covariate projection for a multicollinear covariate, i.e., the mediating lipoproteins in this work. Note that the projection step includes the mediator. This is necessary to be able to calculate the variance pattern of the mediator. The variance pattern of all covariates is displayed in variance plots which are crucial for interpretationBack to article page
