Hello, I'm trying to run a lagsarlm (maximum likelihood estimation of a spatial lag model) in the spdep library ; but R gives following error message: Error in solve.default(inf, tol = tol.solve) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 4.20137e-12
May we guess that you have almost perfectly correlated columns in your data - or factor levels with very few observations? Or many levels? But since we cannot know since we do not have your data. Read about how to invert matrices numerically and you will find that it is not easy if your matrix is almost singular.

I get the same message when I try to run de lagsarlm with a bigger data set (4333 regions). The command I used: TestLag<-lagsarlm( mean_price ~ transcount+ C1_5_1+ C1_5_2+ C1_5_3+ C1_5_4, data=DataB,transcecB.listw) summary(transcecB.listw) Characteristics of weights list object: Neighbour list object: Number of regions: 521 Number of nonzero links: 2904 Percentage nonzero weights: 1.069846 Average number of links: 5.573896 Link number distribution: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 2 17 46 86 116 108 68 43 23 7 2 3 2 least connected regions: 12070513 12070504 with 1 link 3 most connected regions: 12060503 11040601 11020701 with 13 links Weights style: W Weights constants summary: n nn S0 S1 S2 W 521 271441 521 200.3434 2169.626 If any further information is needed, please let me know. I hope this is the right platform to get some help in solving this problem. Best regards, Marie-Line Glaesener Phd. Student Unité de Recherche IPSE (Identités.
