Abstract: A sensitivity analysis is a powerful technique for understanding systems. This heuristic paper shows how to overcome some of the difficulties of performing sensitivity analyses. It draws examples from a broad range of fields: bioengineering, process control, decision making and system design. In particular, it examines sensitivity analyses of tradeoff studies. This paper generalizes the important points that can be extracted from the literature covering diverse fields and long time spans. Sensitivity analyses are particularly helpful for modeling systems with uncertainty.

TL;DR: Anyone can be considered a domain expert if he or she has deep knowledge and strong practical experience in a particular domain and is capable of expressing their knowledge in the form of rules for problem solving.
Multimodal analysis of functional and structural disconnection in Alzheimer's disease using multiple kernel SVM
TL;DR: Combined multimodal imaging data did not significantly improve classification accuracy compared to the best single measures alone and the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm ran the SVM algorithm and validated the results using leave‐one‐out cross‐validation.

Orthogonal array experiment for architecting a system of systems responding to small boat attacks
TL;DR: The problem of architecting a conceptual, near-term, cost-effective system of systems to respond to small boats used by terrorists to attack maritime commerce traffic and critical shore infrastructures in the United States is solved by formulating the architecting problem as an assignment problem which is then solved using the orthogonal array experiment.
