Problem Note 16114: Tolerance for Non Positive Semi Definite Covariance Matrix can not be
set in SAS Risk Dimensions 3.3
If a covariance matrix is supplied that is not positive semi definite
(PSD), the matrix will be "fixed", during the delta normal or monte
carlo simulation analyses, using a Spectral Decomposition. Currently
there is no way of skipping this step or lowering the tolerance for the
check.
