Hello everyone,
I often see certain sensitivity analyses in journal articles but my understanding is limited within a certain topic (e.g. common sensitivity analyses for air pollution and health studies). I want to look for a more systematic reading material for the sensitivity analysis or sometimes called bias analysis. Does someone have good articles/books/talks they could recommend?
Thank you very much,
Yi
Hi Yi,
Dohoo et al. 2012 - Methods in Epidemiologic Research (book)
or
Dohoo et al. 2009 - Veterinary Epidemiologic Research 2nd edition (book)
These books will help you a lot.
Best regards
For a nice, reasonably brief summary, see pp. 131-133 in National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Advancing the Power of Economic Evidence to Inform Investments in Children, Youth, and Families, E Steuerle, LM Jackson (ed), Washington DC: The National Academies Press, 2016. The PDF version is a free download at this link https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23481/advancing-the-power-of-economic-evidence-to-inform-investments-in-children-youth-and-families
Hi Yi,
If you are conducting observational studies, Rosenbaum's new text Observation and Experiment has a very detailed account of how to properly conduct sensitivity analysis for unobserved variables. I think the account given here is even superior to Imben and Rubin's more technical account in Causal Inference for Statistics, Social and Biomedical Sciences. If you are conducting sensitivity analyses for an observational study and have any questions you can message me.
Best,
Aran
Hi Yi,
The following book provides a good introduction to the sensitivity analysis:
Saltelli, A., S., T. Andres, F. Campolongo, J. Cariboni, D. Gatelli, M. Saisana, and S. Tarantola, 2008: Global Sensitivty Analysis. The Primer. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd,.
This book gives a good explanation of the mathematical foundations, includes the description of different methods and gives application notes.
A free PDF version of this book should be available via the following link:

A helpful guide to the implementation of sensitivity analysis (of environmental models) is given in this article:
