I am trying to use logistic regression, but when i execute the following line of code
betaHatNorm=mnrfit(data,class);
my betaHatNorm contains mostly Nan, any resaon it might do so? it also throws a warning regarding matrix
Warning: Matrix is singular to working precision.

What most people mean by "logistic tregression" is a binomial response: number of "successes" vs. number of "failures". Unless you specifically need to fit a model for a multinomial response (more than just two response categories), I'd suggest you use glmfit.

Thank you for the response. What is the reason for using glmfit?
"Unless you specifically need to fit a model for a multinomial response ..." mnrfit is both more and less general than glmfit, but it is simpler to use glmfit for (binomial) logistic regression.
I am doing multinomial response using mnrfit.
I am getting the same warning.
How can I fix this?
Thanks.
