Hello,
I'm doing an lm(y1~x1), no NAs in them, both of length 283.
I get out however and 'NA' for the estimate of x1 and summary gives:
Residuals:
Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
-0.1998309 -0.0447269 -0.0006252 0.0390933 0.3141687
Coefficients: (1 not defined because of singularities)
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) -0.021291 0.003994 -5.331 2.01e-07 ***
x1 NA NA NA NA
---
Signif. codes: 0 .***. 0.001 .**. 0.01 .*. 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1
Residual standard error: 0.06719 on 282 degrees of freedom
I don't understand why x1 can't be defined because of singularities - is
it trying to tell me something about the data and what can I do about it?
Thanks for any help,
Martin
