Problem Note 58005: SAS/ETS® software might generate inconsistent error perturbations
 |  |  |  |
For SAS/ETS procedures and the SAS products that use them for Monte Carlo simulation with the continuous empirical distribution, inconsistent error perturbations might be generated. The problem occurs when there are repeated residual values or a small number of residual values are used to define a model's continuous empirical distribution.
There are no warnings or errors.
This problem was found in SAS® 9.2M3 and was fixed in SAS® 9.3.
