Hi all, I am trying to run the mice package (for multiple imputation) on a data frame that is 5174 x 100. When I run mice(frame), I get the following response: Error in solve.default(t(xobs) %*% xobs) : Lapack routine dgesv: system is exactly singular
and execution stops. I'm no expert at matrix algebra, so if someone could explain this to me and what I can do to get around it, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks. Best, -N. ---------- Nathan A.
