Independent of SaSAT, this set of parameter values was used to carry out numerical simulations of the time-courses of the epidemic, and in each case we commenced the epidemic by introducing one infectious person.

This was then carried out for each of the 27 interventions a total of 27, simulations. For each simulation the time to eradicate the epidemic and the attack number were recorded.

These variables became the main outcome variables used for the sensitivity analyses against the input parameters generated by the Latin Hypercube Sampling procedure. A research paper that is specifically focused on a particular disease and the impact of different strategies would present various figures like Figure 6 , generated from SaSAT's 'Sensitivity Analysis Plots' utility and discussion around their comparison.

The cumulative distribution functions of the distributions of time to eradicate the epidemic and the attack number were produced by SaSAT's 'Sensitivity Plots' utility and shown in Figs. The time until the epidemic was eradicated ranged from 28 to days 99 median, IQR 81— , and the total number of infections ranged from 2 to , median, IQR 55— For the sake of illustration, if the goal of the intervention was to reduce the number of infections to less than , the importance of parameters in contributing to either less than, or greater than, infections can be analysed with SaSAT by categorising each parameter set as a dichotomous variable.

Logistic regression and the Smirnov test were used, within SaSAT's 'Sensitivity Analysis' utility and the results are shown in Table 1. As far as we are aware these methodologies have not previously been used to analyse the results of theoretical epidemic models.

It is seen from Table 1 that λ the infectivity rate was the most important parameter contributing to whether the goal was achieved or not, followed by τ 2 infectious period , and then τ 1 incubation period.

These results can be most clearly demonstrated graphically by Kolmogorov-Smirnov CDF plots Fig. Box plots comparing the 27 different strategies used in the example model, with the whisker length set at 1.

Kolmogorov-Smirnov plots of each parameter displaying the CDFs with the greatest difference between parameter subsets contributing to a 'success' or 'failure' outcome for each parameter see Table 1 : a λ , showing the largest maximum difference between the two CDFs, b τ 1 , showing very little difference, and c τ 2 , showing little difference similar to τ 1.

In this example a 'success' is defined as the total number of infections less than at the end of the epidemic.

We investigated the existence of any non-monotonic relationships between the attack number and each of the input parameters through SaSAT's 'Sensitivity Plots' utility e.

see Figure 9 ; no non-monotonic relationships were found, and a clear increasing trend was observed for the attack number versus λ , the infectivity rate. Then, it was determined which parameters most influenced the attack number and by how much.

To conduct this analysis, SaSAT's 'Sensitivity Analyses' utility was used. The calculation of PRCCs was conducted; these are useful for ranking the importance of parameter-output correlations. Another method that we implemented for ranking was the calculation of standardized regression coefficients; the advantage of these coefficients is the ease of their interpretation in how a change in one parameter can be offset by an appropriate change in another parameter.

A third method for ranking the importance of parameters, not previously used in analysis of theoretical epidemic models as far as we are aware, is factor prioritization by reduction of variance.

The rankings for all correlation coefficients can also be shown as a tornado plot see Figure 10a. Scatter plots comparing the total number of infections log10 scale against each parameter: a τ 1 , shows some weak correlation, b τ 2 , shows little or no correlation, and c λ , showing a strong correlation see Table 2 for correlation coefficients.

a Tornado plot of partial rank correlation coefficients, indicating the importance of each parameter's uncertainty in contributing to the variability in the time to eradicate infection.

c Pie chart of factor prioritization sensitivity indices; this visual representation clearly shows the dominance of the infectivity rate for this model. Note that τ 1 and τ 2 have been combined under the title of 'other', this is because the sensitivity indices of these parameters are both relatively small in magnitude.

The influence of combinations of parameters on outcome variables can be presented visually. Response surface methodology is a powerful approach for investigating the simultaneous influence of multiple parameters on an outcome variable by illustrating i how the outcome variable will be affected by a change in parameter values; and ii how one parameter must change to offset a change in a second parameter.

Figure 10b , from SaSAT's 'Sensitivity Plots' utility shows the pairings of the impact of infectivity rate λ and the incubation period τ 1 on the attack number. Factor prioritization by reduction of variance is a very useful and interpretable measure for sensitivity; it can be represented visually through a pie-chart for example Fig.

In this paper we outlined the purpose and the importance of conducting rigorous uncertainty and sensitivity analyses in mathematical and computational modelling. We then presented SaSAT, a user-friendly software package for performing these analyses, and exemplified its use by investigating the impact of strategic interventions in the context of a simple theoretical model of an emergent epidemic.

The various tools provided with SaSAT were used to determine the importance of the three biological parameters infectivity rate, incubation period and infectious period in i determining whether or not less than people will be infected during the epidemic, and ii contributing to the variability in the overall attack number.

The various graphical options of SaSAT are demonstrated including: box plots to illustrate the results of the uncertainty analysis; scatter plots for assessing the relationships including monotonicity of response variables with respect to input parameters; CDF and tornado plots; and response surfaces for illustrating the results of sensitivity analyses.

The results of the example analyses presented here are for a theoretical model and have no specific "real world" relevance. However, they do illustrate that even for a simple model of only three key parameters, the uncertainty and sensitivity analyses provide clear insights, which may not be intuitively obvious, regarding the relative importance of the parameters and the most effective intervention strategies.

We have highlighted the importance of uncertainty and sensitivity analyses and exemplified this with a relatively simple theoretical model and noted that such analyses are considerably more important for complex models; uncertainty and sensitivity analyses should be considered an essential element of the modelling process regardless of the level of complexity or scientific discipline.

Finally, while uncertainty and sensitivity analyses provide an effective means of assessing a model's "trustworthiness", their interpretation assumes model validity which must be determined separately. There are many approaches to model validation but a discussion of this is beyond the scope of the present paper.

Here, with the provision of the easy-to-use SaSAT software, modelling practitioners should be enabled to carry out important uncertainty and sensitivity analyses much more extensively.

Selection of values from a statistical distribution defined with a probability density function for a range of possible values.

For example, a parameter α may be defined to have a probability density function of a Normal distribution with mean 10 and standard deviation 2. Sampling chooses N values from this distribution. A set of mathematical equations that attempt to describe a system.

Typically, the model system of equations is solved numerically with computer simulations. Mathematical models are different to statistical models, which are usually described as a set of probability distributions or equation to fit empirical data.

A constant or variable that must be supplied as input for a mathematical model to be able to generate output. For example, the diameter of a pipe would be an input parameter in a model looking at the flow of water. Data generated by the mathematical model in response to a set of supplied input parameters, usually relating to a specific aspect of the model, e.

Method used to assess the variability prediction imprecision in the outcome variables of a model that is due to the uncertainty in estimating the input values. Method that extends uncertainty analysis by identifying which parameters are important in contributing to the prediction imprecision.

It quantifies how changes in the values of input parameters alter the value of outcome variables. This allows input parameters to be ranked in order of importance, that is, the parameters that contribute the most to the variability in the outcome variable.

Introduction Mathematical and computational models today play a key role in almost every branch of science. Description of methods In this section we provide a very brief overview and description of the sampling and sensitivity analysis methods used in SaSAT.

Sampling methods and uncertainty analysis Uncertainty analyses explore parameter ranges rather than simply focusing on specific parameter values. Random sampling The first obvious sampling approach is random sampling whereby each parameter's distribution is used to draw N values randomly.

In our example, there may be an abundance of CEOs with the last name that start with the letter 'F'. Systematic sampling strives to even further reduce bias to ensure these clusters do not happen.

Cluster sampling can occur as a one-stage cluster or two-stage cluster. In a one-stage cluster, items within a population are put into comparable groupings; using our example, companies are grouped by year formed. Then, sampling occurs within these clusters.

Two-stage cluster sampling occurs when clusters are formed through random selection. The population is not clustered with other similar items.

Then, sample items are randomly selected within each cluster. Simple random sampling does not cluster any population sets.

Though sample random sampling may be a simpler, clustering especially two-stage clustering may enhance the randomness of sample items. In addition, cluster sampling may provide a deeper analysis on a specific snapshot of a population which may or may not enhance the analysis.

While simple random samples are easy to use, they do come with key disadvantages that can render the data useless. Ease of use represents the biggest advantage of simple random sampling. Unlike more complicated sampling methods, such as stratified random sampling and probability sampling, no need exists to divide the population into sub-populations or take any other additional steps before selecting members of the population at random.

It is considered a fair way to select a sample from a larger population since every member of the population has an equal chance of getting selected.

Therefore, simple random sampling is known for its randomness and less chance of sampling bias. A sampling error can occur with a simple random sample if the sample does not end up accurately reflecting the population it is supposed to represent.

For example, in our simple random sample of 25 employees, it would be possible to draw 25 men even if the population consisted of women, men, and nonbinary people. For this reason, simple random sampling is more commonly used when the researcher knows little about the population.

If the researcher knew more, it would be better to use a different sampling technique, such as stratified random sampling, which helps to account for the differences within the population, such as age, race, or gender. Other disadvantages include the fact that for sampling from large populations, the process can be time-consuming and costly compared to other methods.

Researchers may find a certain project not worth the endeavor of its cost-benefit analysis does not generate positive results. As every unit has to be assigned an identifying or sequential number prior to the selection process, this task may be difficult based on the method of data collection or size of the data set.

No easier method exists to extract a research sample from a larger population than simple random sampling. Selecting enough subjects completely at random from the larger population also yields a sample that can be representative of the group being studied.

Among the disadvantages of this technique are difficulty gaining access to respondents that can be drawn from the larger population, greater time, greater costs, and the fact that bias can still occur under certain circumstances.

A stratified random sample, in contrast to a simple draw, first divides the population into smaller groups, or strata, based on shared characteristics.

Therefore, a stratified sampling strategy will ensure that members from each subgroup are included in the data analysis. Stratified sampling is used to highlight differences between groups in a population, as opposed to simple random sampling, which treats all members of a population as equal, with an equal likelihood of being sampled.

Using simple random sampling allows researchers to make generalizations about a specific population and leave out any bias. Using statistical techniques, inferences and predictions can be made about the population without having to survey or collect data from every individual in that population.

When analyzing a population, simple random sampling is a technique that results in every item within the population to have the same probability of being selected for the sample size. This more basic form of sampling can be expanded upon to derive more complicated sampling methods.

However, the process of making a list of all items in a population, assigning each a sequential number, choosing the sample size, and randomly selecting items is a more basic form of selecting units for analysis. Use limited data to select advertising.

The Bottom Line. Corporate Finance Financial Analysis. Key Takeaways A simple random sample takes a small, random portion of the entire population to represent the entire data set, where each member has an equal probability of being chosen.

Researchers can create a simple random sample using methods like lotteries or random draws. Simple random samples are determined by assigning sequential values to each item within a population, then randomly selecting those values. Simple random sampling provides a different sampling approach compared to systematic sampling, stratified sampling, or cluster sampling.

Simple Random Sampling Advantages Each item within a population has an equal chance of being selected There is less of a chance of sampling bias as every item is randomly selected This sampling method is easy and convenient for data sets already listed or digitally stored.

Disadvantages Incomplete population demographics may exclude certain groups from being sampled Random selection means the sample may not be truly representative of the population Depending on the data set size and format, random sampling may be a time-intensive process.

Conclusion Sampliing Sampling Analysis Tools paper we outlined the purpose Sampling Analysis Tools the importance of conducting rigorous uncertainty and Anlaysis analyses in mathematical and Analysus modelling. To draw valid conclusions from your results, you have to carefully decide how you will select a sample that is representative of the group as a whole. Use this tool to generate a subsample of observations from a set of univariate or multivariate data. The smaller the p-value or equivalently the larger d max x ithe more important is the predictor variable, X iin driving the behaviour of the model. It is the simplest of correlation measures and is described in all basic statistics textbooks [ 13 ]. However, the process of making a list of all items in a population, assigning each a sequential number, choosing the sample size, and randomly selecting items is a more basic form of selecting units for analysis.	In heterogeneous populations the location from which the sub-samples are selected is extremely important. Euro Currency Tools The first thing to decide when choosing a suitable sampling plan is the purpose of the analysis. To make accurate and precise measurements it is important when designing and setting up an analytical procedure to identify the various sources of error and to minimize their effects. You need to analyze convenience sampling data carefully, always bearing in mind that the sample is unlikely to be entirely representative of the study population. The simple random sample process call for every unit within the population receiving an unrelated numerical value. Like binomial logistic regression, the Smirnov two-sample test two-sided version [ 43 — 46 ] can also be used when the response variable is dichotomous or upon dividing a continuous or multiple discrete response into two categories.	There are several different sampling techniques available, and they can be subdivided into two groups: probability sampling and non-probability sampling.

A company may use convenience sampling to gather employee feedback about specific company policies. Diary study templates Last updated: 10 April A homogeneous population is one in which the properties of the individual samples are the same at every location within the material e. It is considered a fair way to select a sample from a larger population since every member of the population has an equal chance of getting selected.	Cluster sampling also involves dividing the population into subgroups, but each subgroup should have similar characteristics to the whole sample. Use the sampling tool to take a sample of a data set. If the clusters themselves are large, you can also sample individuals from within each cluster using one of the techniques above. Each value is drawn from a random position in the input range, and any number can be selected more than once. That means the inferences you can make about the population are weaker than with probability samples, and your conclusions may be more limited. What is Sampling? The size of the training set is defined by a row number percentage from the initial data set.
