A new paradigm for global sensitivity analysis (2409.06271v1)

Published 10 Sep 2024 in stat.ML, cs.LG, and stat.ME

Abstract: Current theory of global sensitivity analysis, based on a nonlinear functional ANOVA decomposition of the random output, is limited in scope-for instance, the analysis is limited to the output's variance and the inputs have to be mutually independent-and leads to sensitivity indices the interpretation of which is not fully clear, especially interaction effects. Alternatively, sensitivity indices built for arbitrary user-defined importance measures have been proposed but a theory to define interactions in a systematic fashion and/or establish a decomposition of the total importance measure is still missing. It is shown that these important problems are solved all at once by adopting a new paradigm. By partitioning the inputs into those causing the change in the output and those which do not, arbitrary user-defined variability measures are identified with the outcomes of a factorial experiment at two levels, leading to all factorial effects without assuming any functional decomposition. To link various well-known sensitivity indices of the literature (Sobol indices and Shapley effects), weighted factorial effects are studied and utilized.
