Hi;

            I am having problems inverting matrices using the function
solve()

            For example R can not invert the following matrix

                 =20

              [,1]           [,2]              [,3]              [,4]
[,5]

  [1,]      25            500              11250           275000
7.106250e+06

  [2,]      500          11250           275000         7106250
1.906250e+08

  [3,]      11250       275000         7106250       190625000
5.247656e+09

  [4,]      275000     7106250       190625000     5247656250
1.471719e+11

  [5,]      7106250   190625000    5247656250   147171875000
4.184754e+12

solve(t(xxmodel)%*%(xxmodel))

Yields the following massage:

Error in solve.default(t(xxmodel) %*% (xxmodel)) : singular matrix `a'
in solve

The above 5X5 matrix is invertible. It has non-zero eigenvalues. Could
someone explain whether there is a problem in R's solve() function.
