Hi @brunoos -
Sorry that I can’t really help with the values for sensitivity, they generally come from a literature search or consulting with people who are knowledgeable about the species you’re modeling - have you looked around for other studies using Corine for this kind of analysis? If you reduced 42 classes into 11, is it possible to use the value for a reduced class and apply it to the multiple classes that went into it? I can see where this wouldn’t always work cleanly, but it’s an idea to get started, and you can fill in the others as you find more class-specific data.
For the sample sensitivity table, it was created a very long time ago, the location is in Oregon in the northwest U.S., and unfortunately we don’t have a record of the sources for those values, nor whether they are species-specific or more general habitat. It is possible that they were simply made up for testing purposes. So I do not recommend that you use them for your thesis work (unfortunately!)
I haven’t done much parameterizing with the HQ model, but perhaps others have who can chime in.
