sensitivity analysis

A means for evaluating the robustness of a mathematical model by testing a plausible range of estimates of key independent variables to determine whether such variations result in meaningful changes in the model’s results.

Note: Sensitivity analysis can also be used for other study types, such as clinical trials analysis, to determine whether inclusion or exclusion of certain data changes the results, and meta-analysis, to determine whether inclusion or exclusion of certain studies changes the results.
