Gneiss Singular matrix error

Hi @ajaybabu27, I haven't seen this error message before. But after digging around for related bug reports on statsmodels, it likely has to do something with ill-defined input.

There are really only two input types that could be causing issues here, the input metadata or the biom table. Could you do the following?

  1. Can you try rerunning the model on few inputs, and report which ones crash?
  2. Have you confirmed that your biom table doesn't have serious problems with zeros? See here for discussion on this: Detected zero variance balances while performing "gneiss ols-regression" - #10
  3. If either of the two solutions aren't working, could you post all of your qzas + metadata to reproduce this error?
