whatever it is, it is specific to the dataset you are using, not the software:
library(robust) p<-20 n<-200 x<-matrix(rnorm(n*p),n,p) b<-rnorm(p+1) y<-cbind(1,x)%*%b+rnorm(n) lmRob(y~x) you should therefore provide more informations about the dataset, On 08/26/2012 07:33 AM, Fabricio Vasselai wrote:
Dear list, I've been trying different models with lmRob for the past days and I was wondering: is there a maximum number of variables to include in a model so to avoid the following error in lmRob? The error message is: Error in lmRob.fit.compute(x2, y, x1 = x1, x1.idx = x1.idx, nrep = nrep, : Singular matrix encountered.Erro em ans[[i]]$call : $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors It seems to me that there is a limit of 14 independent variables plus the intercept. It can run any combination of variables in any dataset I try, as far as final parameters are not beyond this limit. Is it right? I did not find information about this yet. Is there a way to go beyond this number of variables? Thanks in advance!
