On Sensitivity Analysis in Systems for Planning and Decision Support.
Abstract
This paper surveys contemporary research involving error and sensitivity analysis approaches useful for the design of aids for planning and decision support. Discussed are structural sensitivity considerations as well as the effect of errors, for both single and multiattribute cases, in estimation or elicitation of probabilities and utilities. One of the major uses for sensitivity analysis type results is in bounded prioritization of alternatives using ordinal information. This use of sensitivity analysis is discussed and illustrated with examples. (Author)
