I'm not clear what kind of answer you expect.
"estimability" means being estimatable, or here strictly being _not_
estimatable. At its simplest, the signal is thus that -logistic- found
it too difficult to estimate the parameters in the model you specified.
The underlying reason is likely to be that you are throwing far too many
predictors at the response.

Using -stepwise, pr(.20): logistic- I ran different variables (all of
them and dependent variables were dichotomous); got the text below
then got the rest in the model. Any tips what does estimability mean?
