Dear Users,
I am a new user of the sem package.
I have a model that is being flagged by sem as "S is numerically singular:
expect problems"
I have checked John Fox's response to a similar problem. Obviously the
variance-covariance matrix is singular, but none of the possible reasons
seems to hold in my case.
Any leads how I could get the model to work?
from Prof. John Fox
That seems to me a reasonably informative error message: The
observed-variable covariance matrix is singular. This could happen, e.g., if
two observed variables are perfectly correlated, if an observed variable had
0 variance, or if there were more observed variables than observations.
Thanks
