Tornado plot showing the results of a global sensitivity analysis for a stochastic model predicting the cost to the government of a bovine tuberculosis outbreak in a cow-calf herd; variables shown are significantly related to the outcome with α=0.1 (using Bonferroni correction). Indem is the indemnity paid over the value of the animal, Repl is the cost of buying a replacement animal, Sp_CFT is the specificity of the CFT, MV is the market value of a calf, Wean is the weaning month, A is the test administration cost per animal, μ_d is the annual replacement rate, Se_pm is the sensitivity of the post-mortem (slaughterhouse) surveillance system, P_trace is the probability that an infected animal detected at slaughter will be traced back to its herd of origin, and β is the transmission coefficient.
