Per my SAS project:
Model is not full rank. Note: The following parameters have been set to 0, since the variables are a linear combination of other variables as shown.
[goes to look at list]
254 out of the 575 variables that I had to create for this fucker are rejected instantly from the X matrix. A part of me rejoices as the goal of this is to get this monstrosity of a problem down to manageable size (read: hopefully less than 50 variables, but crossing fingers for less than 25). The other part of me wants to throw things at the computer for wasting my time making me create variables and then wasting my time adding them to a model that is going to reject them outright. Such is the way of statistics.
[goes off tohack and slash eliminate more variables - "Come on lucky 25!"]
