			<abstract>
				<p>In the present paper, the method of structure analysis for multivariate functions was applied to examine the global sensitivity of three complex models: the HIV/AIDS infection spread, radar search, and the multiple criteria decisions.</p><p>The investigation of global sensitivity exposed the most influential parameters or their groups. This knowledge makes it possible to concentrate efforts to obtain more exact values of these main parameters.</p><p>As a rule, only a small part of model parameters has a significant influence.</p>
