Abstract
The important role of sensitivity and uncertainty analysis in the math ematical modelling process is indicated, and guidelines are given for these analyses. The main features are presented of the software packag e UNCSAM, which applies efficient Monte Carlo sampling in combination with regression and correlation analysis to perform sensitivity and un certainty analyses on a large variety of simulation models. The use of UNCSAM is illustrated by an environmental application study.
