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…

A Boolean function $f({\vec x})$ is sensitive to bit $x_i$ if there is at least one input vector $\vec x$ and one bit $x_i$ in $\vec x$, such that changing $x_i$ changes $f$. A function has sensitivity $s$ if among all input vectors, the…
