Dear S+ ers:

I am running S+ 4.5 on a PC, with Windows 98, 96 RAM.
Here is my question, please:
I am using arima.mle as part of a function in a simulation.
On a particular series, I get the error message
Error in solve.qr(a): apparently singular matrix.

I get that message when trying to estimate an ARMA(1,1) fit.
I don't get the message for AR(1) or MA(1).  I think
the problem is the var/covar matrix of the coefficients.

Does anyone know a way around this, please?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Erin Hodgess
