[R] mice package

[Nathan Paxton]

	Hi all,

	I am trying to run the mice package (for multiple imputation) on a  
data frame that is 5174 x 100. When I run mice(frame), I get the  
following response:
Error in solve.default(t(xobs) %*% xobs) :
	Lapack routine dgesv: system is exactly singular

and execution stops.

	I'm no expert at matrix algebra, so if someone could explain this to  
me and what I can do to get around it, I'd be very appreciative.

	Thanks.

Best,
-N.
