Hi

I am doing some sensitivity study.
If x takes the value of 1, 2, 3, 4, the values of y are 0, 2, 4, 1.
Is the sensitivity of y to x over x=1~4 equal to (1-0)/(4-1)?
Actually what I am interested is the maximum_y - minium_y over x's
full range, i.e. (maximum_y - minium_y )/delta_x.

How do I call this number?

thank you in advance.

Mike
