Simulation models are used in many settings and for different purposes.
Knowledge uncertainty, uncertainty in observations, poorly known
physical
parameters, alternative value judgements can impinge on the defensibility of
model-based results. The model X-raying offered by sensitivity analysis is
useful to investigate how these uncertainty sources affect the outcome of
an analysis.
Goal of the summer school is to make the participants aware of the
state-of-the-art methods in sensitivity analysis, to stimulate the flow of
new ideas, and to suggest new research directions. Most of the
methodological advances in the field of sensitivity analysis will be
covered.
