[R] Problem of intercept?

[peter dalgaard]

Not sure what you are trying to do here.

The immediate issue is that you are getting 'y' on the RHS, because that is the 1st column in Dataset. So "for (i in 2:3)" might be closer to intention. 

However, a 0/1 regresson with no intercept implies that the mean for the "0" group is zero, and with two regressors that the mean is zero for the (0,0) group. Looking at the data, this is quite clearly not the case.

I suppose you may have intended to fit the models _with_ the intercept and then _ignore_ the intercept for plotting purposes, i.e. lm(y~x11+x12, Dataset)$coef[-1], etc.?

(Also, I suspect that you don't actually have y=7 and y=867 in the dataset.)
