I'm trying to analyze some data using mlogit. I get an error saying" Error in solve.default(H, g[!fixed]) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 1.18087e-27"
(choice~1|v1+v2+...vn, data, shape="long",alt.var="Mode",choice="Choice")
Although, when I add +0 in the second part of the formulae(individual specific variables), thus requiring no intercepts for the coefficients, I get no error.
mlogit(choice~1|v1+v2+...vn+0, data, shape="long",alt.var="Mode",choice="Choice")
The summary looks like this:
