Scenario Analysis

An analysis in which alternative sets of structural or parameter assumptions are tested simultaneously.

Definition

Scenario analysis involves running the model under a coherent set of alternative assumptions, typically to test the impact of structural uncertainty. Common scenarios include alternative time horizons, different comparators, alternative utility sources, or different treatment pathways. Unlike sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis changes multiple parameters simultaneously to represent a plausible alternative view of the evidence.
