I have a matrix m
:
(m <- matrix(c(26,14,24,14,20,42,24,42,90), 3))
# [,1] [,2] [,3]
# [1,] 26 14 24
# [2,] 14 20 42
# [3,] 24 42 90
When i run solve(m)
to calculate the inverse of the matrix, i get this error message :
solve(m)
Error in solve.default(m) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 6.21104e-18
The problem is the columns are not linearly independent.
The first column * -1/3 + second column * 7/3 is equal to the third column.
-m[, 1] * 1/3 + 7/3 * m[, 2]
# [1] 24 42 90
