Hello guys this problem was never answered and I happened to come across
the same problem , kindly help. This is a simple R program that I have been
trying to run. I keep running into the "singular matrix" error. I end up
with no sensible results. Can anyone suggest any changes or a way around
this?
I am a total rookie when working with R.
Thanks,
Rasika
