[R] rank-deficient model matrix

[colorful1017]

Dear:
      I want to construct a gee model in R. When I ran the program, there was a 
warning in the output.
The warning is "Beginning Cgee S-function, @(#) geeformula.q 4.13 98/01/27
                       gee(cbind(hyper, nohyper) ~ I(Ethnic) + I(Gender) + 
I(drink) +  : 
                       rank-deficient model matrix"
What is the rank-deficient model matrix? What should I do to solve the problem?
Thanks all.
                                              Lian
