I am a new user to R and I would like to kindly ask you for your help.I
would like to use the varpart. I imported already my
datas in and I got in my R console  warning messages:
Warning messages:
1: collinearity detected in X4: mm = 7, m = 6
2: collinearity detected in cbind(X1,X4): mm = 9, m = 8
3: collinearity detected in cbind(X2,X4): mm = 11, m = 10
4: collinearity detected in cbind(X3,X4): mm = 9, m = 8
5: collinearity detected in cbind(X1,X2,X4): mm = 13, m = 12
6: collinearity detected in cbind(X1,X3,X4): mm = 11, m = 10
7: collinearity detected in cbind(X2,X3,X4): mm = 13, m = 12
8: collinearity detected in cbind(X1,X2,X3,X4): mm = 15, m = 14

I would like to know if  it is big problem? Do I need to take out these
collinearitys?
If I have 16 variables. Can I make 4 goups from the different variables,
for example in the first group are 2 variables, in the second group are
2variables,
in the third are 4 variables and in the fourth are 8 variables?
How does this influence the result?
Where can I get some concrete information?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yours sincerely,
Katalin Varga
