Singular Matrix

Hello all!
I am trying to do a left hand inversion (using backslash operator) but I get the following message:
Matrix is singular to working precision. RCOND=NaN
What can I do to avoid this and make the operation? The matrix is 1500x1500 and has a lot of zeros...
Thank you.

The matrix you are working with is not full rank or no independent. This means that some columns or rows within the matrix are functions of others. The best way to figure out which columns or rows are the problems is to delete a row or column and use rank() to see if the number returned is the minimum number of rows or columns. once this is true than you have an independent matrix and the operation should work.
If this doesn't make sense try searching for "Matrix independence" on google
Hope this helps

Expanding I am using two software packages to compute GMM
1. First one gives (at the Expectation Maximization stage)
Warning: Matrix is singular, close to singular or badly scaled. Results may be inaccurate. RCOND = NaN.
2. The other gives
??? Error using ==> chol Matrix must be positive definite.
Although both the packages work fine for a sample 2x1000 matrix fine.
3. I even tried
[vec,val] = eig(dscr);
val(val<0) = eps;
dscr1 = vec*val*vec';
as mentioned in
But the same 1) and 2) are continuing
regards,
Venkat
