singular matrix problem

Post by KimJanssens »

Hi everyone

I am new at smart PLs and I came across a problem that has been discussed here quite regularly..
Yet, I have not found an answer to my question in previous posts. So, here it is:

I have a reflective model in pls 3, and when I want to run the model (when starting analyses) the error pops up: singular matrix problem.
My sample size is 110, i do not have collinearity problems and already checked a 100 times for errors in the dataset.. .

I really have no clue whatsoever could be the problem and so I turn to you. I do hope anyone can help me because it is quite frustrating that I cannot analyze a single thing and already am stuck at step one...

kind regards
Kim

There likely will be a problem somewhere with your model or data set. You could send the project (including the data set and model) to our support team and they might have a look at it.
