Hello,

Could somebody please tell me what the following is about?

I try to run BMS function for quite a small dataset (400 rows and 50  
columns) to get model suggestions, but I end up getting following  
error message:


> bms<-bms(dat)
Error in chol.default(XtX.start) :
   the leading minor of order 36 is not positive definite


I've done it before, it worked for some other data set but not this time.


I can't find any info about leading minors from anywhere.


Jukka
