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. \u003cp\u003eOther key features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an accessible overview of the current most widely used methods for sensitivity analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpens with a detailed worked example to explain the motivation behind the book.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a range of examples to help illustrate the concepts discussed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocuses on implementation of the methods in the software SIMLAB - a freely-available sensitivity analysis software package developed by the authors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains a large number of references to sources for further reading.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthored by the leading authorities on sensitivity analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003eAndrea Saltelli, Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Ispra, Unit of Applied Statistics and Econometrics.
