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.

 thanks.

Thanks, Petr.

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