Mar 10, 2012 at 1:26 comment added rolando2 Regarding the coefficient of zero: I could see this happening as an artifact of putting all your coefficients into XL before pasting them here--something that seems consistent with the high number of decimal places we're generally seeing. Maybe one of those XL cells was set to round to integers, yielding the zero. I've had things like this happen.
Mar 9, 2012 at 23:38 comment added Peter Flom Showing a list of coefficients like this, with no context at all, is likely saying "Joe has 31, isn't that a lot?" without saying 31 what. 31 cars? A lot. 31 kids? One heck of a lot! 31 dollars? Not much.
Mar 9, 2012 at 21:01 comment added whuber If you were to subtract 1027 from all the values of the sixth variable, your intercept would be quite close to 0. Would that make you feel better? :-)
Mar 9, 2012 at 20:10 comment added probabilityislogic What is the range or standard deviation of your other variables? Is there a large difference between the standard deviation of the variable with zero estimate compared to the others? You may expect a coefficient of zero if the standard deviation is small compared to the others (numerical precision). Also intercept basically means you have variables which have large averages (away from zero). Centering your variables would give a more interpretable intercept, and won't change the betas for the other variables (iterative algorithm error aside).
