Hi 

 

I have a problem with this error, I have searched the archives and found
previous discussion about this, can I cannot understand how the explanations
apply to what I am trying to do.

 

I am trying to do Log_rank Survival analysis, I have included tables and str
command, is it a factor/integer problem? If so how do I correct this, as all
my attempt to recode the data have failed.

 

> survdiff(Surv(f2$days.alive , f2$censored)~group, data=f2)

Error in drop(.Call("La_dgesv", a, as.matrix(b), tol, PACKAGE = "base")) : 

  Lapack routine dgesv: system is exactly singular

> head(f2)

           group days.alive censored
