it doesn't appear to be a bug for me, given that one of your coefficients is NA due to linear dependencies on your design matrix.
i prefer to think of it as a feature :-) (show only the coefficients for the variables that do not show linear dependencies). x=1:5 y=c(1:3, 7, 6) fit=lm(y~x) coef(fit) coef(summary(fit)) b On Nov 12, 2006, at 11:28 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > tmp <- data.frame(x=c(1,1), > y=c(1,2)) > > tmp.lm <- lm(y ~ x, data=tmp) > summary(tmp.lm) > > coef(summary(tmp.lm)) > > ## I consider this to be a bug.
