Sensitivity

Spearman rank correlation of each dispersed parameter with miss distance and with failure. |ρ| above 0.25 (2/√n) is marked significant.

Method

Each run samples the true vehicle and environment from the dispersion file; the flight software flies with the nominal vehicle, the forecast environment and the pre-flight ascent plan. Success probability uses the Wilson score interval. Ellipses assume a bivariate normal landing distribution. These are simulation results: model-form error is not included beyond the dispersed parameters (see docs/models).
