• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BA1/F4_MATH_TOOLS001 - QR decomposition: cannot invert matrix ?

  The SAP error message /BA1/F4_MATH_TOOLS001 QR decomposition: cannot invert matrix typically indicates that there is an issue with a matrix operation in the context of a QR decomposition, which is a mathematical technique used in various computations, including regression analysis and solving linear systems.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Singular Matrix: The most common cause of this error is that the matrix you are trying to invert is singular, meaning it does not have an inverse. This can happen if:
  
  The matrix has linearly dependent rows or columns.
  The matrix is not full rank (i.e., its rank is less than the number of rows or columns).
  There are not enough unique data points in the dataset being analyzed.
  
  
  
  Data Issues: If the matrix is derived from data, issues such as missing values, duplicate entries, or insufficient variability in the data can lead to a singular matrix.
  
  
  Incorrect Model Specification: If the model being used is incorrectly specified, it may lead to
