“…In the last decade, sensitivity analysis and its methodologies in various multivariate methods have been discussed by several authors. Then some statistical software for the sensitivity analysis have been developed, for instance, SAM (Tarumi and Tanaka 1986), SAF/B (Tanaka, Castano andOdaka 1990, Odaka, Watadani and and SAF/S (Inoue, Odaka and Tanaka 1991). SAM iss for sensitivity analysis in descriptive multivariate methods, and SAF/B and SAF/S are for sensitivity analysis in factor analysis written in BASIC and S language, respectively.…”
