Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for optimization analysis or sensitivity analysis of a data model in which the data model is constructed before particular parameter values are extracted, comprising: receiving first data identifying a value function; storing a data model based on the value function and specific parameter values for a plurality of parameters for the value function; determining which parameters of the data model are capable of taking variable values; receiving second data identifying one or more selected parameters; receiving third data specifying a value selection approach for each of the selected parameters; determining a plurality of result values by substituting, based on the value selection approach, a plurality of input values for each of the selected parameters and evaluating the value function using the selected parameters and the substituted values; generating and causing displaying a table of the result values; wherein the preceding steps are performed by one or more computing devices.
