Sensitivity analysis for 6 scenarios. In both small (S) and large (L) pens, we considered the following scenarios: low risk (LR) or high risk with antibioprevention (HRA) with individual treatment only (I), vs high risk (HR) with collective treatment (C). For each scenario, we display the contribution (total sensitivity index calculated by an ANOVA, see Equation 4) of each parameter (one per line) to the variation of target outputs (one per column) when this contribution was over 5%. This contribution was made positive or negative depending on the sign of the correlation between parameter and output variations. For each output (i.e. for each column), the numeric values represent the effect of the most impactful parameter (on the corresponding line) and the sum of all contributions (part of the variations that is explained by the parameters chosen in the sensitivity analysis). Grey columns correspond to outputs that either were not relevant in the corresponding scenario (proportion of collective treatments in the individual-treatment scenarios) or could not be analysed because their distribution was not normal.
