I'm trying to make a PLS regressionon the following data:

0.03 0.02 5.78 6.59 3.38 1.25

The variables are:
pH2 pH3 N2 N3 C org 2 C org 3 C/N2 C/N3 CSC2
CSC3 K2 K3 Mg2 Mg3 Ca2 Ca3 GSB2 GSB3
Mg/Ca2 Mg/Ca3 Mg/K2 Mg/K3 N/Mg2 N/Mg3

Dependent variable would be:

Trasparence of vegetation cover %

7.500
22.940
19.500
22.170
8.570
29.830
22.330
17.670
13.450
23.830
51.210
18.170
36.170
55.000
24.830
30.000
7.670

I linked these two table but when I ask to LineaReg to perform its
PLS->Modelling option with 1 or 2 components it says "Non positive
Variance".

Ehm, what does it mean?

If I use PlsGen2, instead, with 1 or 2 component, it gives me the message
"Unhandled exception: c0000005
At address: 00407af2"

What I'm doing wrongly ?

(Some time ago I noticed that PlsGen2 crashed on the same data on which
LineaReg|PLS->Modelling didn't. Next I loose the data so it was impossible
to report this fact that, to me, seemed a bug).

Thank you.
