Sensitivity Range
Definition
Results under specified alternative inputs, distinct from a confidence interval. Sensitivity analysis examines how a result changes when specified inputs or assumptions change. Clearly identify which alternatives are measured, supported or merely illustrative.
- Context
- Model assessment
For example, running a calculation with two justified temperature histories shows input sensitivity without making the resulting span a statistical confidence interval.
Plausible-looking endpoints cannot compensate for missing validation or an unsuitable biological model.
