New sensitivity analysis subordinated to a contrast

Methodology 2013-05-13 v1

Abstract

In a model of the form Y=h(X1,,Xd)Y=h(X_1,\ldots,X_d) where the goal is to estimate a parameter of the probability distribution of YY, we define new sensitivity indices which quantify the importance of each variable XiX_i with respect to this parameter of interest. The aim of this paper is to define {\it goal oriented sensitivity indices} and we will show that Sobol indices are sensitivity indices associated to a particular characteristic of the distribution YY. We name the framework we present as {\it Goal Oriented Sensitivity Analysis} (GOSA).
