[amelia] error when setting priors in AmeliaView (the leading minor issue again)

Hi (and especially, Hi Matt!) I'm getting the (known) error Error in chol.default(copy.theta[c(FALSE, m[ss, ]), c(FALSE, m[ss, ])]) : the leading minor of order 6 is not positive definite whenever I try to set a distribution or range prior for a whole variable in AmeliaView. I know this has been discussed before, but no solution was sent to the list... what's the problem here? I'm using Amelia II version 1.1-27 and the latest version of R. Here's my session file: `amelia.list` <- structure(list(amelia.args = structure(list(outname = "blimputationbig", m = 5, empri = 0, ts = 2, cs = 1, am.filename = "H:/mmanger/Data/blsmallv3.dta", file.type = 2, lags = c(8L, 9L, 10L, 13L), leads = 8:10, polytime = 2, intercs = 0, output.select = 4, priors = structure(c(0, 0, 3, 6, 0.97, 5.9, 6.9, 2.05), .Dim = c(2L, 4L), .Dimnames = list( c("newPrior", "newPrior"), c("", "polity", "", "")))), .Names = c("outname", "m", "empri", "ts", "cs", "am.filename", "file.type", "lags", "leads", "polytime", "intercs", "output.select", "priors"))), .Names = "amelia.args") Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Mark -- Mark S.
