Hello,

i'm tring to use a cox's model for a survival analysis. I have a dataset,
this is a part:

   VOD SESSO fonte_sct     donor     RT_CGY STATOBMT TEMPO morto
1     0     F       mid                related      1200
CP                65        1
2     0     M      mid                                 1200
2RC             5281      0
3     0     M      mid               unrelated   1200      1RC
218       0
4     0     M      per                unrelated   1200      2RC
484        0
5     0     F       mid                                  1200
1RC             302        1
6     0     M      mid                related      1200      1RC
1235        0


but when i try this command i have a warning:

fit = coxph( Surv(TEMPO,morto==1)~ VOD + SESSO + fonte_sct + donor +
RT_CGY + STATOBMT)
Warning message:
In coxph(Surv(TEMPO, morto == 1) ~ VOD + SESSO + fonte_sct + donor +  :
  X matrix deemed to be singular; variable 10 14 15 18 20 21 22 24 25 26


why??? anyone know the solution of this??


Perhaps your some of your variables are very highly correlated with each other, leading to a singular covariance matrix?
