The HPCDM procedure might fail to complete under the following conditions:

• The NPERTURBEDSAMPLES=n option is specified in the PROC HPCDM statement where n>0, and
• either the COUNTSTORE= option is specified in the PROC HPCDM statement, or a SEVERITYEST= input data set containing covariance estimates is specified.

If execution of the procedure completes under the conditions stated above, the perturbed parameters are incorrect.

PROC HPCDM might seem to hang when a perturbation analysis is requested using either a COUNTSTORE= input data set or a SEVERITYEST= input data set that contains covariance parameters. If the procedure completes under these conditions, the perturbed parameter estimates are incorrect.
