PROC LIFEREG generates incorrect results under the following conditions:
In this scenario, incorrect results are produced in several places, including the posterior summaries, the posterior sample, and in the OUTPOST= data set.
To circumvent this issue, create observations in the INPUT= data set where _TYPE_='COV' and the off-diagonal elements are zero.
For example, the following INPUT= data set contains the means and variances of the normal prior:
In the code above, you can circumvent incorrect results by creating the INPUT= data set using _TYPE_='COV' instead of _TYPE_='VAR', as shown below:
