Sensitivity analysis in general metric spaces

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce new indices adapted to outputs valued in general metric spaces. This new class of indices encompasses the classical ones; in particular, the so-called Sobol indices and the Cram{\'e}r-von-Mises indices. Furthermore, we provide asymptotically Gaussian estimators of these indices based on U-statistics. Surprisingly, we prove the asymp-totic normality straightforwardly. Finally, we illustrate this new procedure on a toy model and on two real-data examples.
