Description: Computer simulations are becoming a popular technique to
        use in attempts to further our understanding of complex
        systems. This package provides code for four techniques
        described in available literature which aid the analysis of
        simulation results, at both single and multiple timepoints in
        the simulation run. The first technique addresses aleatory
        uncertainty in the system caused through inherent
        stochasticity, and determines the number of replicate runs
        necessary to generate a representative result. The second
        examines how robust a simulation is to parameter perturbation,
        through the use of a one-at-a-time parameter analysis
        technique. Thirdly, a latin hypercube based sensitivity
        analysis technique is included which can elucidate non-linear
        effects between parameters and indicate implications of
        epistemic uncertainty with reference to the system being
        modelled. Finally, a further sensitivity analysis technique,
        the extended Fourier Amplitude Sampling Test (eFAST) has been
        included to partition the variance in simulation results
        between input parameters, to determine the parameters which
        have a significant effect on simulation behaviour.
