@article{JRC14027, address = {}, year = {1997}, author = {Saltelli A and Scott H}, abstract = {In September 1995, a conference on sensitivity analysis of model output was held in northern Italy (SAMO 95). The present special issue, together with its twin publication in a statistical journal aims to offer a perspective on the conference, perhaps the first ever to be entirely devoted to this important aspect of modelling activities. Sensitivity analysis (SA) is a familiar topic for the RESS reader. One of the most quoted review articles on sa methods was published on RESS. Sensitivity analysis is a well known topic in the context of reliability engineering; see for instance the problem of SA based robust Bayesian inference. More in general, among the key issues where SA plays a role are model identification, mechanisms reduction, control theory, and risk assessment. }, title = {The Role of Sensitivity Analysis in the Corroboration of Models and its Links to Model Structural and Parametric Uncertainty (Guest editorial)}, type = {}, url = {}, volume = {57}, number = {}, journal = {Reliability Engineering and System Safety}, pages = {1-4}, issn = {}, publisher = {}, doi = {} }
