Existing methods for sensitivity analysis are described and new techniques are proposed. These techniques are evaluated through consideration relative to the QUASAR program. Merits and limitations of the various approaches are examined by a detailed application to the Suppression Pool Aerosol Removal Code (SPARC). 17 refs., 7 figs., 12 tabs.
