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
