“…Over three decades ago, Green (1977) noted that “if a parameter has little effect on the fit of a model, then it provides a weak basis for scientific conclusions” (p. 264). More recently, this view has been echoed by several methodologists (Koopman, 1988; Lee & MacCallum, 2015; MacCallum et al, 2009, 2012; Pek, 2012; Waller, 2008; Waller & Jones, 2009) who describe novel techniques for quantifying parameter sensitivity in common multivariate methods. Within this line of research, Waller (2008; Waller & Jones, 2009) showed how fungible weights could be used to assess parameter sensitivity in linear regression.…”
