Quantile regression is used to study effects of covariates on a particular quantile of the data distribution. Here we are interested in the question whether a covariate has any effect on the entire data distribution, i.e., on any of the…

Physical phenomena are commonly modeled by numerical simulators. Such codes can take as input a high number of uncertain parameters and it is important to identify their influences via a global sensitivity analysis (GSA). However, these…
