Table 2.

Calculated variation (CV%) in the optimal level of fatness (F_A) resulting from variation in the component parameters for each scenario detailed in Table 1. The values to the left labeled ‘CV parameters’ are the assumed CV in the component parameters of the model. Using an assumed set-point at the analytical solution to the scenarios (F_A = 5) with a tolerance of 4%, the proportion of situations where the set-point system would be regulating at the optimum level of fatness is also shown labeled as P(correct).
