• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAN_RT316 - Too few data records:No. of regression coefficients < no. of data records ?

  The SAP error message RSAN_RT316, which states "Too few data records: No. of regression coefficients < no. of data records," typically occurs in the context of regression analysis within SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics. This error indicates that the number of regression coefficients being calculated is less than the number of data records available for analysis, which is not a valid scenario for regression modeling.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Insufficient Data: The primary cause of this error is that the dataset being used for regression analysis does not have enough records to support the number of regression coefficients being estimated. For example, if you are trying to estimate multiple coefficients (e.g., for multiple independent variables), you need a sufficient number of data records to ensure that the model can be reliably estimated.
  
  
  Model Specification: If the model is incorrectly specified (e.g., too many independent variables relative to the number of observations), it can lead
