(A) Phase sensitivity with respect to initial conditions in a two-state system. In this case, the initial condition change induces a positive phase difference (phase lag). (B) Phase sensitivity with respect to the model parameters. The phase difference due to a parameter perturbation is t2−t1. The dotted lines correspond to trajectories with nominal parameters, which imply that the phase difference is measured on the nominal limit cycle.
