Hello
I have seen many posts (questions and responses) related to multicollinearity, VIF and interaction. After reading all these threads, I still do not get my answer.
Background: I'm currently using a large survey data set in which I tried to test multicollinearity between two independent variables (both are dummies). My outcome/dependent variable is a dummy variable.
My questions are
(Q1) Can I use Vif for this situation? I saw many posts here and in publications that Vif is used, but most of them are used for the continuous outcome/dependent variables.
I am also aware that the interaction term can also be used to check for collinearity. But, mostly I've seen using "regress" but again, their outcome variables are continuous variables.
(Q2) Currently, I used interaction terms to see if there is any interaction between them.
So, here is my code for interaction. Is the code below correct for checking interaction (outcome var= dummy variable; two independent var checking for collinearity are also dummy variables?

Below is the output.

(Q2.1) If it is not correct, can anyone suggest the correct code?
(Q3) if it is correct, can the code be used for or checking interaction (outcome var= categorical variable; independent variables checking for collinearity are also dummy variables, categorical and independent var?
Thank you so much.
