Figure 7. Parameter sensitivity analysis.

Figure 7

(A) The values of Inline graphic are shown for all the parameters of the model with variations of Inline graphic% in each of the parameters. The ordering of the parameters shows which parameters had the largest increase in the eigenvalues for either a Inline graphic% change with the largest on the left. The dotted line indicates the value of Inline graphic for the original set of parameters used in Table 1. (B) The change in equilibrium value for Inline graphic after Inline graphic% change in parameter values. The y-axis shows the ratio change of the equilibrium with the new parameter value divided by the original equilibrium value Inline graphic. The ordering of the parameters shows which parameters had the largest increase in the magnitude of Inline graphic for either a Inline graphic% change with the largest increase on the left. Since the equilibrium is unstable for Inline graphic, Inline graphic oscillates 17% above and 14% below the equilibrium marked with a Inline graphic. (C) The change in equilibrium value for Inline graphic after Inline graphic% change in parameter values. The y-axis shows the ratio change of the equilibrium with the new parameter value divided by the original equilibrium value Inline graphic. The ordering of the parameters shows which parameters had the largest increase in the magnitude of Inline graphic for either a Inline graphic% change with the largest increase on the left. Since the equilibrium is unstable for Inline graphic, Inline graphic oscillates 13% above and 10% below the equilibrium marked with a Inline graphic.
