Re: [R] (... not defined because of singularities) in lm()

Thanks, Petr.

isInterNuclear and zeroSyllToEOP are both binary, and it turns out :
isInterNuclear  zeroSyllToEOP == zeroSyllToEOP.

 Subject:  [R] (... not defined because of singularities) in  
 lm()

 I got the message,  Coefficients: (1 not defined because of
 singularities), in the returned result of lm(). What does it mean?
 And where should I start investigating why it happens?

 one of your variables (probably isInterNuclear:zeroSyllToEOP) is a
 linear combination of other explanatory variables or is constant.
