changing Gsize to a factor would cause the error. Thanks for the advice! -Ted From: nu35 Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2020 11:09 AM To: Ted Stankowich Cc: Liam J. Revell ; r-sig-phylo@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R-sig-phylo] singularity with pgls and ordinal factor CAUTION: This email was sent

Hi Ted. My best guess is that some trees have zero-length terminal edges resulting in implied correlations between related species of 1. Could that be the case with your trees? Note that a good solution to this problem *is not* to add a small amount of edge length to the tips causing the

Hello all, I'm running pgls analyses using caper and have run into an issue with getting computationally singular errors. I'm trying to run a continuous dependent variable (HeadShades) against an ordinal factor (GsizeF). I get the following error when I run this: Error in solve.default(xVix,
