Folks, Could anyone provide any advice to resolve the error "the leading minor of order 6 is not positive definite" in the flowStats warpSet() function? Are negative SSC values problematic? Error transcript, traceback and sessionInfo() are below. Any pointers much appreciated, Andrew Hill. > ret.f1.aligned <- warpSet(ret.f1[2:4], c("SSC","CD45")) Estimating landmarks for channel CD45 ... Registering curves for parameter SSC ...

Hi Andrew, I am not familiar with the flowStat package, but Cholesky factorization is used to solve system(s) of linear equations where the matrix is symmetric and POSITIVE DEFINITE. All leading minors of positive definite matrix are positive. So your error message means that your matrix is not positive definite. It may be either indefinite (i.e. have both positive and negative eigenvalues) or your matrix may be near singular, i.e. it's smallest eigenvalue is very close to 0 (and so computationally it is 0).
