Developing your understanding
1. What features need to be included in your mathematical model so that what-if analysis can be
implemented?
2. Where do you find reliable estimates for the uncertainty of input variables?
3. What trends are shown by testing each input variable individually?
4. Why do some inputs influence the results of the model more than others do?
5. How could this analysis be used to detect an error in your model? To simplify the model?
