Datasets can sometimes contain attributes (predictors) that have near-zero variance, or may have just one value. Such variables are considered to have less predictor power. Apart from being uninformative, these predictors may also sometimes break the model that you are trying to fit to your data. This can occur, for example, due to division by zero (if a standardization is performed in the data).
