Hi R Users,
I am going to run a multiple linear regression with around 57 independent
variables. Each time I run the model with just 11 variables, the results
are reasonable. With increasing the number of independent variables more
than 11, the coefficients will get “NA” in the output. Is there any
limitation for the number of independent variables in multiple linear
regressions in R? I attached my dataset as well as R codes below:
mlr.data<- read.table("./multiple.txt",header=T)
mlr.output<- lm(formula = CaV ~ SHG + TrD+ CrH+ SPAD+ FlN+ FrN+ YT+
LA+ LDMP+ B+Cu+ Zn+ Mn + Fe+ K + P+ N +Clay30 +Silt30 +Sand30
+Clay60 +Silt60 +Sand60 +ESP30 +NaEx30+ CEC30+Cl30+ SAR30 +KSol30+ NaSol30
+CaMgSol3 +ZnAv30 +FeAv30 +OC30 +PAv30 +KAv30 +TNV30+ pH30+ EC30 +SP30
+ESP60 +NaEx60 +CEC60 +Cl60 +SAR60 +KSol60 +NaSol60 +CaMgSol6
+ZnAv60+FeAv60 +OC60 +PAv60 +KAv60 +TNV60 +pH60 + EC60 +SP60, data=mlr.data)
summary (mlr.output)
