Description for Sensitivity Analysis: Gauging the Worth of Scientific Models
Hardback. This work is a guide to the principles behind sensitivity analysis. It suggests suitable methods for particular types of problem, which allows a greater understanding of the entire causal assessment chain. This makes the impact of source uncertainties and framing assumptions more transparent. Editor(s): Saltelli, A.; Chan, K.; Scott, E. M. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 504 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBT; PBWH; PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 254 x 178 x 34. Weight in Grams: 1042.
Sensitivity analysis is used to ascertain how a given model output depends upon the input parameters. This is an important method for checking the quality of a given model, as well as a powerful tool for checking the robustness and reliability of its analysis. The topic is acknowledged as essential for good modelling practice, and is an implicit part of any modelling field.
· Offers an accessible introduction to sensitivity analysis
· Covers all the latest research
· Illustrates concepts with numerous examples, applications and case studies

Reviews for Sensitivity Analysis: Gauging the Worth of Scientific Models
"The book has a fair price...I think this is a book that everyone who does modeling should buy. It can readily be read piecemeal...so it is ideal for leisurely self-study..." (Technometrics Vol. 42, No. 4 May 2001) "...this book will prove helpful in the solution of many modeling problems." (La Doc Sti, September 2000) "...presents many different sensitivity ... Read more
