sensitivity analysis and relevance

[Pi\"erre van de Laar]

Dear Connectionists,

I am interested in methods which perform
sensitivity analysis and/or relevance determination of input fields,
and especially methods which use neural networks.
Although I have already found a number of references (see end of mail),
I expect that this list is not complete.
Any further references would be highly appreciated.

As usual a summary of all replies will be posted in about a month.

Thanks in advance,
