I suspect that there might be too many options that refer to 'sensitivity' and none of us are sure what you are interested in, precisely. What's another keyword? I pair specificity with sensitivity; but I don't refer to 'sensitivity analysis', I say 'discriminability.' Your question -- and my background thoughts of 1000-generation, simulation analyses in genetic model ling -- makes me think of something I saw years ago, called 'perturbation analyses'. Try Google, or try us again with additional detail. Hope this helps. -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ =================================================================
