This issue was reported by Marianne, here’s an extract from the debug output

A likelihood fit can certainly not work with 0 observed and predicted events, we should add a check and skip bins for which this situation occurs.
Recurrence
No recurrence.

- Priority changed from Normal to High
- Target version set to 2.0.0
I have this same error recently quite often, not sure why it did not show up before.

I modified the
GMatrixSparse::GMatrixSparse(const int& rows, const int& columns, const int& elements)
todo that was identified. Nevertheless, I need to check that the sparse matrix class allows to operate on empty matrices. I did the same in the GMatrix and GMatrixSymmetric class.#3

It seems that the sparse matrix class is not yet working properly on empty matrices:
0 libgamma.8.dylib 0x0000000107e9e6b9 cs_transpose(GMatrixSparse const&, int) + 121 (GMatrixSparse.cpp:3810) 1 libgamma.8.dylib 0x0000000107e9e5d0 GMatrixSparse::transpose() const + 224

Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen almost 3 years ago
- Project changed from ctools to GammaLib
- Target version deleted (
2.0.0) - % Done changed from 10 to 30
I added unit tests to verify that all methods and operators of GMatrixSparse work seamlessly on empty matrices. This needed a few code adaptions.
I still need to do the same for the other two storage classes.

- Status changed from In Progress to Pull request
- % Done changed from 30 to 90
I implement unit tests also for all other storage classes. Things seem to work well now.
In addition, I modified the code in GObservation and GResponse so that no issues occur in case that there are no events. I tested the code on cssens where I had the same error before and now it works fine.

The code was merged into devel.

There seems still to be a problem when passing an observation without any event. Such a problem occurs in the csphasecrv unit test.

Found it. It was an exception in GMatrixSparse::stack_push_column() that I moved and that I shouldn’t. I fixed the issue.
