sensitivity

in electronics, minimum magnitude of input signal required to produce a specified output signal

Sensitivity may refer to: ==Science and technology== ===Natural sciences=== Sensitivity (physiology), the ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli Sensory processing sensitivity, a personality trait in humans Sensitivity and specificity, statistical measures of the performance of binary classification tests antimicrobial susceptibility, often called "sensitivity" Allergic sensitivity, the strength of a reaction to an allergen The inverse of resistance (ecology), the ability of populations to remain stable when subject to disturbance ===Electronics=== Sensitivity (electronics). Two contrasting definitions of sensitivity are used in the field of electronic sensors and instruments Sensitivity first definition: the ratio between output and input signal, or the slope of the output versus input response curve of a transducer, microphone or sensor Sensitivity second definition: the minimum magnitude of input signal required to produce an output signal with a specified signal-to-noise ratio of an instrument or sensor Sensitivity in a receiver indicates the receiver's capability to extract information from a weak signal ===Mathematics=== Sensitivity (control systems), variations in process dynamics and control systems Sensitivity analysis, apportionment of the uncertainty in the output of a mathematical model among its inputs Sensitivity and specificity, statistical measures of the performance of binary classification tests ==Entertainment== "Sensitivity" (Shapeshifters song), the fourth single from music group Shapeshifters "Sensitivity" (song), a song by rhythm and blues singer Ralph Tresvant "Sensitivity" (Suspects), a 2014 television episode ==Other uses== Information sensitivity, a property of information that may result in damage if disclosed Price sensitivity, in economics ==See also== Sensibility Sensitization (disambiguation) Sensitizer (disambiguation)
