Hello everyone I'm trying to use Scheffe's complete cubic model (mixture design). In the bibliographies, they indicate that the term is of the type: A * B * (A-B). But I see that trying to adjust the three cubic terms results in singularities. I know this implies not having the inverse matrix: solve (t (X)% *% X) does not exist. The bibliographies show all three cubic terms. So my question: How to circumvent the singularity and estimate the coefficients for these terms in Scheffe's complete cubic model in the modeling of Chemical Blends? Thanks in advance for any help. Thank you so much Cleber Borges ####? MY_DATA: ???????? H2O TOL?????? MET?????
