It offers a review of the state-of-the-art insensitivity analysis, and is suitable for a wide range ofpractitioners. It is focussed on the use of SIMLAB - a widelydistributed freely-available sensitivity analysis software packagedeveloped by the authors - for solving problems insensitivity analysis of statistical models. Other key features: * Provides an accessible overview of the current most widely usedmethods for sensitivity analysis. * Opens with a detailed worked example to explain the motivationbehind the book. * Includes a range of examples to help illustrate the conceptsdiscussed. * Focuses on implementation of the methods in the software SIMLAB- a freely-available sensitivity analysis software packagedeveloped by the authors. * Contains a large number of references to sources for furtherreading. * Authored by the leading authorities on sensitivityanalysis.
