SALib.analyze.hdmr module#

Compute global sensitivity indices using the meta-modeling technique known as High-Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR).

HDMR itself is not a sensitivity analysis method but a surrogate modeling approach. It constructs a map of relationship between sets of high dimensional inputs and output system variables [1]. This I/O relation can be constructed using different basis functions (orthonormal polynomials, splines, etc.). The model decomposition can be expressed as

\[\widehat{y} = \sum_{u \subseteq \{1, 2, ..., d \}} f_u\]

where \(u\) represents any subset including an empty set.

HDMR becomes extremely useful when the computational cost of obtaining sufficient Monte Carlo samples are prohibitive, as may be the case with Sobol’s method. It uses least-square regression to reduce the required number of samples and thus the number of function (model) evaluations. Another advantage of this method is that it can account for correlation among the model input. Unlike other variance-based methods, the main effects are the combination of structural (uncorrelated) and correlated contributions.

This method uses as input

  • a N x d matrix of N different d-vectors of model inputs (factors/parameters)

  • a N x 1 vector of corresponding model outputs

SALib.analyze.morris module#

SALib.analyze.morris.analyze(problem: Dict, X: ndarray, Y: ndarray, num_resamples: int = 100, conf_level: float = 0.95, print_to_console: bool = False, num_levels: int = 4, seed=None) → Dict[source]#

Perform Morris Analysis on model outputs.

Returns a result set with keys mu, mu_star, sigma, and mu_star_conf, where each entry corresponds to the parameters defined in the problem spec or parameter file.

  • mu metric indicates the mean of the distribution

  • mu_star metric indicates the mean of the distribution of absolute

    values

  • sigma is the standard deviation of the distribution

Notes

When applied with groups, the mu metric is less reliable as the effect from parameters within a group become averaged out.

The mu_star metric avoids this issue as it indicates the mean of the absolute values. If the direction of effects is important, Campolongo et al., [2] suggest comparing mu_star with mu. If mu is low and mu_star is high, then the effects are of different signs.

sigma is used as an indicator of interactions between parameters, or groups of parameters.

SALib.analyze.pawn.analyze(problem: Dict, X: ndarray, Y: ndarray, S: int = 10, print_to_console: bool = False, seed: int = None)[source]#

Performs PAWN sensitivity analysis.

The PAWN method [1] is a moment-independent approach to Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA). It is described as producing robust results at relatively low sample sizes (see [2]) for the purpose of factor ranking and screening.

The distribution of model outputs is examined rather than their variation as is typical in other common GSA approaches. The PAWN method further distinguishes itself from other moment-independent approaches by characterizing outputs by their cumulative distribution function (CDF) as opposed to their probability distribution function. As the CDF for a given random variable is typically normally distributed, PAWN can be more appropriately applied when outputs are highly-skewed or multi-modal, for which variance-based methods may produce unreliable results.

PAWN characterizes the relationship between inputs and outputs by quantifying the variation in the output distributions after conditioning an input. A factor is deemed non-influential if distributions coincide at all S conditioning intervals. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic is used as a measure of distance between the distributions.

This implementation reports the PAWN index at the min, mean, median, and max across the slides/conditioning intervals as well as the coefficient of variation (CV). The median value is the typically reported value. As the CV is (standard deviation / mean), it indicates the level of variability across the slides, with values closer to zero indicating lower variation.

Notes

Compatible with:

all samplers

This implementation ignores all NaNs.

When applied to grouped factors, the analysis is conducted on each factor individually, and the mean of their results are reported.

>>> Y = Ishigami.evaluate(X)
>>> Si = pawn.analyze(problem, X, Y, S=10, print_to_console=False)

  • X (numpy.array) – A NumPy array containing the model inputs

  • Y (numpy.array) – A NumPy array containing the model outputs

  • print_to_console (bool) – Print results directly to console (default False)

  • seed (int) – Seed value to ensure deterministic results

SALib.analyze.rsa module#

SALib.analyze.rsa.analyze(problem: Dict, X: ndarray, Y: ndarray, bins: int = 20, target: str = 'Y', print_to_console: bool = False, seed: int = None)[source]#

Perform Regional Sensitivity Analysis (RSA), also known as Monte Carlo Filtering.

In a usual RSA, a desirable region of output space is defined. Outputs which fall within this region is categorized as being “behavioral” (\(B\)), and those outside are described as being “non-behavioral” (\(\bar{B}\)). The input factors are also partitioned into behavioral and non-behavioral subsets, such that \(f(X_{i}|B) \rightarrow (Y|B)\) and \(f(X_{i}|\bar{B}) \rightarrow (Y|\bar{B})\). The distribution between the two sub-samples are compared for each factor. The greater the difference between the two distributions, the more important the given factor is in driving model outputs.

The approach implemented in SALib partitions factor or output space into \(b\) bins (default: 20) according to their percentile values. Output space is targeted for analysis by default (target="Y"), such that \((Y|b_{i})\) is mapped back to \((X_{i}|b_{i})\). In other words, we treat outputs falling within a given bin (\(b_{i}\)) corresponding to their inputs as behavioral, and those outside the bin as non-behavioral. This aids in answering the question “Which \(X_{i}\) contributes most toward a given range of outputs?”. Factor space can also be assessed (target="X"), such that \(f(X_{i}|b_{i}) \rightarrow (Y|b_{i})\) and \(f(X_{i}|b_{\sim i}) \rightarrow (Y|b_{\sim i})\). This aids in answering the question “where in factor space are outputs most sensitive to?”

The $k$-sample Anderson-Darling test is used to compare distributions. Results of the analysis are normalized so that values will be \(\in [0, 1]\), and indicate relative sensitivity across factor/output space. Larger values indicate greater dissimilarity (thus, sensitivity).

Notes

Compatible with:

all samplers

When applied to grouped factors, the analysis is conducted on each factor individually, and the mean of the results for a group are reported.

Increasing the value of \(S\) increases the granularity of the analysis (across factor space), but necessitates larger sample sizes.

This analysis will produce NaNs, indicating areas of factor space that did not have any samples, or for which the outputs were constant.

Parameters

  • problem (dict) – The problem definition

  • X (numpy.array) – A NumPy array containing the model inputs

  • Y (numpy.array) – A NumPy array containing the model outputs

  • bins (int) – The number of bins to use (default: 20)

  • target (str) – Assess factor space (“X”) or output space (“Y”) (default: “Y”)

  • print_to_console (bool) – Print results directly to console (default False)

  • seed (int) – Seed value to ensure deterministic results Unused, but defined to maintain compatibility.

Convert the parallel output into the regular dict format for printing/returning

SALib.analyze.sobol.Si_to_pandas_dict(S_dict)[source]#

Convert Si information into Pandas DataFrame compatible dict.

Examples

>>> X = saltelli.sample(problem, 512)
>>> Y = Ishigami.evaluate(X)
>>> Si = sobol.analyze(problem, Y, print_to_console=True)
>>> T_Si, first_Si, (idx, second_Si) = sobol.Si_to_pandas_dict(Si, problem)
Parameters

S_dict (ResultDict) – Sobol sensitivity indices

See also

Si_list_to_dict

Returns

tuple – Total and first order are dicts. Second order sensitivities contain a tuple of parameter name combinations for use as the DataFrame index and second order sensitivities. If no second order indices found, then returns tuple of (None, None)

Return type

of total, first, and second order sensitivities.

SALib.analyze.sobol.analyze(problem, Y, calc_second_order=True, num_resamples=100, conf_level=0.95, print_to_console=False, parallel=False, n_processors=None, keep_resamples=False, seed=None)[source]#

Perform Sobol Analysis on model outputs.

Returns a dictionary with keys ‘S1’, ‘S1_conf’, ‘ST’, and ‘ST_conf’, where each entry is a list of size D (the number of parameters) containing the indices in the same order as the parameter file. If calc_second_order is True, the dictionary also contains keys ‘S2’ and ‘S2_conf’.

Notes

Compatible with:

saltelli : SALib.sample.saltelli.sample() sobol : SALib.sample.sobol.sample()

Examples

>>> X = saltelli.sample(problem, 512)
>>> Y = Ishigami.evaluate(X)
>>> Si = sobol.analyze(problem, Y, print_to_console=True)
Parameters

  • problem (dict) – The problem definition

  • Y (numpy.array) – A NumPy array containing the model outputs

  • calc_second_order (bool) – Calculate second-order sensitivities (default True)

  • num_resamples (int) – The number of resamples (default 100)

  • conf_level (float) – The confidence interval level (default 0.95)

  • print_to_console (bool) – Print results directly to console (default False)

  • parallel (bool) – Perform analysis in parallel if True

  • n_processors (int) – Number of parallel processes (only used if parallel is True)

  • keep_resamples (bool) – Whether or not to store intermediate resampling results (default False)

  • seed (int) – Seed to generate a random number
