Documented in calc_sensitivity

#' Calculate risk sensitivity to a single variable
#'
#' Compute risk by varying one variable while holding others fixed.
#'
#' The sensitivity analysis makes use of the C\eqn{_{ss}} values stored in the
#' 'fixed_css' table of the GeoTox database. These values are determined using
#' the pre-simulated C\eqn{_{ss}} values supplied to [set_simulated_css()] and
#' can be set using [set_fixed_css()] prior to running this function. This step
#' is automatically done when using [simulate_population()] with `sample_css =
#' TRUE`.
#'
#' There are five options for the `vary` argument:
#' \describe{
#' \item{age}{C\eqn{_{ss}} values from the 'age' column of the 'fixed_css' table
#' are used. For other cases, exposure rates are re-simulated using the median
#' age by location in the 'sample' table by calling [simulate_exposure_rate()]
#' with `sensitivity = TRUE`.}
#' \item{weight}{C\eqn{_{ss}} values from the 'weight' column of the 'fixed_css'
#' table are used.}
#' \item{css_params}{C\eqn{_{ss}} values from the 'params' column of the
#' 'fixed_css' table are used.}
#' \item{fit_params}{C\eqn{_{ss}} values from the 'other' column of the
#' 'fixed_css' table are used. For other cases, the standard deviation of
#' dose-response model fit parameters are set to zero by calling [calc_risk()]
#' with `fixed = TRUE`.}
#' \item{C_ext}{C\eqn{_{ss}} values from the 'other' column of the 'fixed_css'
#' table are used. For other cases, external concentrations are re-simulated
#' with standard deviations set to zero by calling [simulate_exposure()] with
#' `sensitivity = TRUE`.}
#' }
#' In all cases above, the resulting risk table is named
#' 'risk_sensitivity_~vary~' (e.g., 'risk_sensitivity_age') in the GeoTox
#' database.
#'
#' Inputs `rate_extra_cols`, `expos_mean`, and `expos_sd` do not need to be
#' specified again if they were already provided in a previous call and are set
#' in the GeoTox parameters (`GT$par`).
#'
#' @param GT GeoTox object.
#' @param vary Variable to vary. One of "age", "weight", "css_params",
#'   "fit_params", or "C_ext".
#' @param overwrite Logical indicating whether to overwrite existing sensitivity
#'   analysis results in the GeoTox database.
#' @param rate_extra_cols Additional columns to match from the
#'   'exposure_rate_params' table (default NULL).
#' @param expos_mean Column name of exposure concentration mean in the
#'   'exposure' table (default "mean").
#' @param expos_sd Column name of exposure concentration standard deviation in
#'   the 'exposure' table (default "sd").
#' @param max_mult Upper bound multiplier for max response (default 1.5).
#'
#' @returns The updated GeoTox object, invisibly.
