I am (again) having a problem with Rstudio. I'm running a mutivariate regression. One of my predictor variables has multiple levels. For some reason the first level is missing.

```{r}
levels(ESS$hinctnta_REC)
```
 [1] "J - 1st decile"  "R - 2nd decile"  "C - 3rd decile"  "M - 4th decile" 
 [5] "F - 5th decile"  "S - 6th decile"  "K - 7th decile"  "P - 8th decile" 
 [9] "D - 9th decile"  "H - 10th decile" "Refusal"         "Don't know"     
 [13] "No answer" 

```{r}
model1 <- lm(ESS$freehomosexuals_NUM2 ~ ESS$worseorbetterplacetolive_NUM2 + ESS$rlgblg_REC + 
ESS$hinctnta_REC, data = ESS)
summary(model1)
```
Call:
lm(formula = ESS$freehomosexuals_NUM2 ~ ESS$worseorbetterplacetolive_NUM2 + 
ESS$rlgblg_REC + ESS$hinctnta_REC, data = ESS)

Residuals:
     Min       1Q   Median       3Q      Max
