Definition

  • A tornado diagram (given this name due to its resemblance to a tornado) is a graphical method for displaying a series of univariate (or one-way) sensitivity analyses that has been commonly used in cost-effectiveness analysis. Figure 1 shows an example of a tornado diagram—with incremental cost-effectiveness value ranges arranged from the largest at the top to the smallest at the bottom.
