Dear Umesh Khatri, The vif() function in the car package will compute (generalized) variance inflation factors for GLMs.
What (if anything) to do about collinearity isn't in my opinion an answerable question without knowing the details of your research. In particular, ridge regression is not a panacea for collinearity problems. Best, John ------------------------------------------------ John Fox Sen.
