Hallo,

I want to use gam from the mgcv package with a mrf smoother.

This is my data set (`x`)

       y          id
    1  0.6684496  1
    2  0.6684496  2
    3  0.6684496  3
    4  0.6684496  4
    5  0.6684496  5
    6  0.6684496  6
    7  0.6684496  7

    19 0.6445448 19
    20 0.6445448 20
    21 0.6445448 21
    22 0.5815767 22

    $`42`
    [1] 36 37 38 39 40 41 42

However, when I run

    b <- gam(y ~ s(id,bs="mrf",xt=list(nb=nb)),data=x,method="REML")

I get the following error:

Error in initial.sp(w * x, S, off) : S[[1]] matrix is not +ve definite.

Why is the penalty matrix non semi-positive definite? Am I defining something wrong?

Many thanks in advance
