Sensitivity Analysis in Practice [PDF ebook] 
A Guide to Assessing Scientific Models

Sensitivity analysis should be considered a pre-requisite for
statistical model building in any scientific discipline where
modelling takes place. For a non-expert, choosing the method of
analysis for their model is complex, and depends on a number of
factors. This book guides the non-expert through their
problem in order to enable them to choose and apply the most
appropriate method. It offers a review of the state-of-the-art in
sensitivity analysis, and is suitable for a wide range of
practitioners. It is focussed on the use of SIMLAB – a widely
distributed freely-available sensitivity analysis software package
developed by the authors – for solving problems in
sensitivity analysis of statistical models.
Other key features:
* Provides an accessible overview of the current most widely used
methods for sensitivity analysis.
* Opens with a detailed worked example to explain the motivation
behind the book.
* Includes a range of examples to help illustrate the concepts
discussed.
* Focuses on implementation of the methods in the software SIMLAB
– a freely-available sensitivity analysis software package
developed by the authors.
* Contains a large number of references to sources for further
reading.
* Authored by the leading authorities on sensitivity
