Sensitivity analysis
A sensitivity analysis was carried out to measure the impact of expert
opinion value judgements on risk ranking using the tornado graph feature
in @Risk to determine which expert weights had the greatest impact on
overall weighted risk score for each pathogen. A positive Spearman
correlation value indicated a positive relationship between the weight
for that criterion and the total risk score. The criterion with the
highest absolute value was identified as the most impactful risk factor
for future risk management strategies.
