I have followed through with this suggestion:

assess link / resample = 10000 crpanel ;

I am getting Pr > MaxAbsVal ~ 0.89

How do I interpret this?  Is it me, or is the documentation sparse?  If I
follow the logic in the online docs, then a higher value indicates that
the model may suffice.

Can I be reassured that no *major* violation has occurred?

Thanks,
