If you chose a distribution in the Fit Tab, and then change parameters for the distribution in the Final VaR Matrix, SAS^® OpRisk VaR fails to save the changes, and the changes fail to affect the results.

To work around the problem, choose an alternate distribution in the Fit Tab. Then, in the Final VaR Matrix, change to the desired distribution, and then change parameter values for that distribution.

For example, choose a Poisson distribution in the Fit Tab, and then change the parameters of the Poisson in the Final Var Matrix. They will not be saved and will not be used in the VaR calculation. Now choose the NegBin distribution in the Fit Tab, go to the Final VaR Matrix, then choose Poisson and change the parameters.
