Sobol' indices measure the dependence of a high dimensional function on groups of variables defined on the unit cube $[0,1]^d$. They are based on the ANOVA decomposition of functions, which is an $L^2$ decomposition. In this paper we…
Let $X:=(X_1, \ldots, X_p)$ be random objects (the inputs), defined on some probability space $(\Omega,{\mathcal{F}}, \mathbb P)$ and valued in some measurable space $E=E_1\times\ldots \times E_p$. Further, let $Y:=Y = f(X_1, \ldots, X_p)$…

Performing an additive decomposition of arbitrary functions of random elements is paramount for global sensitivity analysis and, therefore, the interpretation of black-box models. The well-known seminal work of Hoeffding characterized the…
Uncertainties exist in both physics-based and data-driven models. Variance-based sensitivity analysis characterizes how the variance of a model output is propagated from the model inputs. The Sobol index is one of the most widely used…
