Abstract

In view of increasing application of sensitivity assessment (SA) to environmental simulation models, a relatively short, informal introduction to aims and methods of SA is given. Their variety, motivation and scope are illustrated by outlines of a broad selection of approaches. Methods based on derivatives, algebraic analysis, sparse sampling, variance decomposition, Fourier analysis and binary classification are included.
