• Read Chapter 8 of your textbook, An Overview of Business Intelligence, Analytics, Data Science, and AI
• Review the following:

In terms of input data, predictions and assumptions are a distinctive part of model building. According to Delen, Sharda, and Turban (2023), “Sensitivity analysis attempts to assess the impact of a change in the input data parameters on the proposed solution (i.e., via the result variable)” (p.347). Prescriptive analysis relies on sensitivity analysis as it provides flexibility and adaptability to changing conditions. The same holds true for what-if analysis. This system allows the user to input questions associated with “what will happy if.” Inversely, goal seeking is a type of backward analysis in that the use interjects the values needed to achieve a specific intended goal. Finally, decision tables aid the user in organizing data and knowledge into a systemic platform sheet that can be tracked and analyzed to make informed decisions.

In your paper,

• Discuss two reasons for implementing sensitivity analysis in the healthcare industry.
• Discuss two difficulties that may arise when analyzing multiple goals.
