Ordinary ridge regression does not correctly scale such variables in my opinion. The anova method for ols fits 'works' when you penalize the model but there is some controversy over whether we should be testing biased coefficients. Some believe that hypothesis tests should be done using the unpenalized model. That brings up other ways to handle collinearity: test groups of variables in combination so they don't compete with each other, or collapse them into summary scores (e.g., principal components) before putting them in the model. --- Frank E Harrell Jr Prof. of Biostatistics & Statistics Div. of Biostatistics & Epidem.
