érzékenységelemzéseket

érzékenységelemzéseket, which translates to sensitivity analyses in English, refers to a systematic study of how the variation or uncertainty in the output of a model or system can be attributed to different sources of variation in its input. These analyses are crucial in various fields, including engineering, environmental science, economics, and software development, to understand the robustness and reliability of models and predictions.

The primary goal of sensitivity analyses is to identify which input parameters have the most significant impact on the model's results. This helps researchers and practitioners to focus their efforts on refining the most influential parameters, reducing uncertainty, and improving the accuracy of their models. It can also reveal potential interactions between input variables.

There are several methods for conducting sensitivity analyses. Local sensitivity analyses examine the impact of small changes in input variables around a specific point, often using derivatives. Global sensitivity analyses, on the other hand, explore the entire range of input variables and are generally considered more comprehensive. Common global methods include variance-based approaches like the Sobol indices and regression-based methods.

The results of sensitivity analyses are often presented in a clear and understandable format, such as tables or graphical representations, highlighting the relative importance of each input factor. This information is vital for decision-making, risk assessment, and for communicating the limitations and strengths of a model. By understanding what drives the model's output, stakeholders can have greater confidence in the model's predictions and the decisions based upon them.
