You have perfect fit, so errors (residuals) are zero, ditto standard errors. This is an extension of the rule that a straight line can be drawn going through any two distinct points.

Scientifically, the indication is that you need to consider a simpler model, or conclude that you do not have enough data to fit this model.

I am currently trying to make a simple regression model where I include myself as a variable influencing the firms revenue. This is for a small presentation I need to make to a firm for a interview process. I have run a multiple regression, but I am getting peculiar results where some of my coefficient variables are dropped and I don't get any numerical values for the certain columns (see below). I will appreciate if I could get your help as soon as possible. Thank you. regress Rev GDP7 DJ NK FTSE UE7 OP
