Formula:
Sensitivity (S) is a measure indicating how much an output value changes relative to a change in an input value. It's calculated using the ratio of percentage changes:
S = ( (Output2 - Output1) / Output1 ) / ( (Input2 - Input1) / Input1 )
Where:
- Input1: The initial value of the independent variable.
- Input2: The final (changed) value of the independent variable.
- Output1: The initial value of the dependent variable, corresponding to Input1.
- Output2: The final (changed) value of the dependent variable, corresponding to Input2.
This formula reveals the proportional responsiveness of the output to changes in the input.
