Hi all,

I understand that multinorm belongs to a package that belongs to a book.
Still I have a hopefully easy to answer question. I get the following
error message when I call the summary of a multinom regression:

svd.default(X): x must be numeric or complex

I do not understand the problem. Is it because the algorithm did not
converge? The regression ends with

iter 100 value 298.219000
final  value 298.219000
stopped after 100 iterations

The data set is fairly unbalanced with roughly 4000 times 0 and 30 times
1,2,3 each. I'd appreciate any comments.

I use Splus 7.0 Build B7487 on a fairly new PC and WindowsVista.

Best,
Christian
