Hi, I'm using the function "mlogit" from the package "mlogit" in order to make a multinomial model, with random and nested effect*. But, currently, even a basic model as
> mlogit(c ~ lma + poids , MC, shape = "long", alt.var = "N") Erreur dans drop(.Call("La_dgesv", a, as.matrix(b), tol, PACKAGE = "base")) : sous-programme Lapack dgesv : le système est exactement singulier which is the same thing than Error in drop(.Call("La_dgesv", a, as.matrix(b), tol, PACKAGE = "base")) : "Lapack routine dgesv: system is exactly singular" I didn't find any explanations on the web ... my data look like this > head(MC) male pop lma poids ventre dos date mom c N 1 1 2 4.9 3.03 4 3 1 1 no SS_cache 2 1 2 4.9 3.03 4 3 1 1 no explo 3 1 2 4.9 3.03 4 3 1 1 no thermo 4 1 2 4.9 3.03 4 3 1 1 no immo 5 1 2 4.9 3.03 4 3 1 1 no stress 6 1 2 4.9 3.03 4 3 1 2 yes SS_cache somes data of the Examples (in ?mlogit) look like mine > head(TravelMode) individual mode choice wait vcost travel gcost income size avincome time 1 1 air no 69 59 100 70 3.5 1 35 2.816667 2 1 train no 34 31 372 71 3.5 1 0 6.766667 3 1 bus no 35 25 417 70 3.5 1 0 7.533333 4 1 car yes 0 10 180 30 3.5 1 0 3.000000 5 2 air no 64 58 68 68 3.0 2 30 2.200000 6 2 train no 44 31 354 84 3.0 2 0 6.633333 timeair 1 2.816667 2 0.000000 3 0.000000 4 0.000000 5 2.200000 6 0.000000 and > mlogit(choice ~ time + timeair , TravelMode, shape = "long", alt.var = "mode") Call: mlogit(formula = choice ~ time + timeair, data = TravelMode, shape = "long", alt.var = "mode", method = "nr", print.level = 0) Coefficients: alttrain altbus altcar time timeair -3.6776 -4.2339 -4.5232 -0.5963 -2.7048 work prefectly so, I don't understant any thing, ... Is anybody understand why this function didn't work on my data ? MANY THANKS hugo mathé hubertEmail : hug...@hotmail.fr PS: * if anybody know how to consider interaction between 2 nested factors, I'm interested ... (it is "a:b in (A:B)" if a is nested in A and b nested in B ?) _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft.
