The high-order sensitivities of model responses with respect to model parameters are notoriously difficult to compute for large-scale models involving many parameters. The neglect of higher-order response sensitivities leads to substantial errors in predicting the moments (expectation, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and higher-order) of the model response's distribution in the phase space of model parameters. The author expands on his theory of addressing high-order sensitivity analysis in this book, Advances in High-Order Sensitivity Analysis.The mathematical/computational models of physical systems comprise parameters, independent variables, and dependent variables. Since the physical processes themselves are seldom known precisely and since most of the model's parameters stem from experimental procedures that are also subject to imprecision and/or uncertainties, the results predicted by these models are also imprecise, being affected by the uncertainties underlying the respective model.In the particular case of sensitivity analysis using conventional methods, the number of large-scale computations increases exponentially. For large-scale models involving many parameters, even the first-order sensitivities are computationally very expensive to determine accurately by conventional methods. Furthermore, the "curse of dimensionality" prohibits the accurate computation of higher-order sensitivities by conventional methods.Other books by the author, all published by CRC Press, include Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis, Volume I: Theory (2003); Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis, Volume II: Applications to Large-Scale Systems (Cacuci, et al., 2005); Computational Methods for Data Evaluation and Assimilation (Cacuci et al. 2014); The Second-Order Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology (2018); and Advances in High-Order Predictive Modeling Methodologies and Illustrative Problems (2025).…

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Rarewaves.com UK, Unit 144 The Lightbox, 111 Power Road, W4 5PY, London, London, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
