The Index column gives the square root of the ratios of the eigenvalues to the largest eigenvalue. The column for each basis function gives the proportion of variation in that basis function explained by the associated eigenvector. "EigenstructureTablePartitions" gives the values in the variance partitioning for all basis functions in the table." in tutorial/StatisticalModelAnalysis. Note that the table includes information about the nonconstant basis functions. I've checked that the code uses the design matrix. If the nonconstant basis functions are the same as the predictor variables in your example, I wonder if this might account for what you are observing? Darren Glosemeyer Wolfram Research
