Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Sensitivity analysis is used widely in statistical work. Yet the notion and properties of sensitivity parameters are often left quite vague and intuitive. Working in the Bayesian paradigm, we present a definition of when a sensitivity parameter is pure, and we discuss the implications of a parameter meeting or not meeting this definition. We also present a diagnostic with which the extent of violations of purity can be visualized.
