Dear Arne,

thank you very much upfront for your time that you invest in answering my 
question.


I'm using your systemfit R package to analyze if companies risk appetite has a 
relationship to their performance and how it evolves over time. We collected 
data for ca. 80 companies, from 6 segments over 15 years that gives us a final 
data set with 1,312 firm-year observations. We have set up 3 equations (based 
on existing SEM from literature) and experience the following:

- The systemfit package performs well when using no dummy variables (e.g. for 
year, segment, firm)

- When adding dummy variables (year / segment) the systemfit package still 
provides results; however, if we remove the segment dummy variable and add a 
firm dummy variable we experience the error message: "cs_lu(A) failed: 
near-singular A (or out of memory)"

- We also tested the systemfit package with firm and year dummy variable using 
a sub-sample of our data (ca. 10 companies) and the package worked without any 
error messages

- Afterwards we tested the systemfit package using a server (64 gb ram, 16 
core,...) by applying the systemfit package again on the final data set. 
However, we experienced again the same error message.


We use R 3.3.2 and the systemfit package 1.1-20.


I would be very grateful if you could support us anyhow and give us a hint how 
we could solve the situation.


Thanks again for your help.


Warm Regards from Munich,

Michael
