Sensitivity analysis is the study of how the uncertainty in the output of a mathematical model or system (numerical or otherwise) can be apportioned to different sources of uncertainty in its inputs. A related practice is uncertainty analysis, which has a greater focus on uncertainty quantification and propagation of uncertainty. Ideally, uncertai...

The concern with how the solution changes if some changes are made in either the data or in some of the solution values (by fixing their value). Marginal analysis is concerned with the effects of small perturbations, maybe measurable by derivatives. Parametric analysis is concerned with larger changes in parameter values that affect the data in th....

Type of “what if� uncertainty analysis in which variables or assumptions are changed from a base case in order to determine their impact on a project's measured results, such as net present value (NPV) or internal rate of return (IRR).

This is a technique that re-runs the comparison between inputs and consequences, and varies the assumptions that underlie the estimates. The aim of sensitivity analysis is to test the robustness of the conclusions by varying the items about which there is uncertainty.
