Dear Rs,
I am re-executing some older code. It does work in the ancient R 2.12.0 which I
still have on my PC but with the new version R 3.1.0 it does not work any more
(but some other new stuff, which won't work with 2.12).
The problem arises in context with the systemfit package using the matrix
package. In R 3.1.0 the following error is thrown:
Error in as.matrix(solve(W, tol = solvetol)[1:ncol(xMat), 1:ncol(xMat)]) :
error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function
'as.matrix': Error in .solve.sparse.dgC(as(a, "dgCMatrix"), b = b, tol = tol) :
LU computationally singular: ratio of extreme entries in |diag(U)| = 7.012e-39
However, I have no clue what I can do about this. Was there some change in the
defaults of the matrix package? I couldn't find anything apparent in the
changelog. As the same code works in R 2.12.0, I suppose that the problem is
not my data.
If anyone has an idea about this, I would really appreciate your hints.
Thanks!
Werner
