Hello,
I am trying to run an ordinal logistic regression (polr) using the package
'MASS'.
I have successfully run other regression classes (glm, multinom) without
much problem, but with the 'polr' class I get the following error:
" Error in svd(X) : infinite or missing values in 'x' "
which appears when I run the "summary" command.
The data file is large (585000 rows) and has no NA, -9999 or blank values.
My script (in brief) is as follows, with results:
############

"Rock_Name" "Elevation" "Slope" "Aspect" "Hillshade"
"Stream_dist" "Coast_dist" "Coast_SE"
[14] "Coast_E" "Wind_310" "TPI" "Landform"

##Try with omit NA command

Error in svd(X) : infinite or missing values in 'x'

Does this imply an 'infinite value' and what would this mean?
If anyone has any idea how to address this error, I would very much
appreciate your response.
Thank you in advance.
