Dear All,
Let mod2 and mod3 are two regression equations representing two distinct lines
and i'm keen to find the intreception point between these two lines and the
following are part of the codes.
m1<- as.matrix(rbind(coef(mod2), coef(mod3)))
a<- cbind(c(1,1), -m1[, 2])
b<- m1[,1]
c<- solve(a=a,b=b)
Unfortunately, there is an error message given as stated below and i don't
understand what it meants for.
' Error in drop(.Call("La_dgesv", a, as.matrix(b), tol, PACKAGE = "base")) :
system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 1.14557e-16'
Could anybody advice me on this matter?
Yes, you cannot compute the intersection if it is (numerically) non
existant, i.e. coef(mod2), coef(mod3) are almost linear dependent and
the regression lines are almost parallel.
