Class for the estimation of Sobol’ indices.

Let us consider the model $$Y=f(X_1,\ldots,X_d)$$ where:

• $$X_1,\ldots,X_d$$ are independent random variables,

• $$E\left[f(X_1,\ldots,X_d)^2\right]<\infty$$.

Then, the following decomposition is unique:

$Y=f_0 + \sum_{i=1}^df_i(X_i) + \sum_{i,j=1\atop i\neq j}^d f_{i,j}(X_i,X_j) + \sum_{i,j,k=1\atop i\neq j\neq k}^d f_{i,j,k}(X_i,X_j,X_k) + \ldots + f_{1,\ldots,d}(X_1,\ldots,X_d)$

where:

• $$f_0=E[Y]$$,

• $$f_i(X_i)=E[Y|X_i]-f_0$$,

• $$f_{i,j}(X_i,X_j)=E[Y|X_i,X_j]-f_i(X_i)-f_j(X_j)-f_0$$

• and so on.

Then, the shift to variance leads to:

$V[Y]=\sum_{i=1}^dV\left[f_i(X_i)\right] + \sum_{i,j=1\atop j\neq i}^d V\left[f_{i,j}(X_i,X_j)\right] + \ldots + V\left[f_{1,\ldots,d}(X_1,\ldots,X_d)\right]$

and the Sobol’ indices are obtained by dividing by the variance and sum up to 1:

$1=\sum_{i=1}^dS_i + \sum_{i,j=1\atop j\neq i}^d S_{i,j} + \sum_{i,j,k=1\atop i\neq j\neq k}^d S_{i,j,k} + \ldots + S_{1,\ldots,d}$

A Sobol’ index represents the share of output variance explained by a parameter or a group of parameters. For the parameter $$X_i$$,

• $$S_i$$ is the first-order Sobol’ index measuring the individual effect of $$X_i$$,

• $$S_{i,j}$$ is the second-order Sobol’ index measuring the joint effect between $$X_i$$ and $$X_j$$,

• $$S_{i,j,k}$$ is the third-order Sobol’ index measuring the joint effect between $$X_i$$, $$X_j$$ and $$X_k$$,

• and so on.

In practice, we only consider the first-order Sobol’ index:

$S_i=\frac{V[E[Y|X_i]]}{V[Y]}$

and the total-order Sobol’ index:

$S_i^T=\sum_{u\subset\{1,\ldots,d\}\atop u \ni i}S_u$

The latter represents the sum of the individual effect of $$X_i$$ and the joint effects between $$X_i$$ and any parameter or group of parameters.

This methodology relies on the SobolAnalysis class. Precisely, SobolAnalysis.indices contains both SobolAnalysis.first_order_indices and SobolAnalysis.total_order_indices while SobolAnalysis.main_indices represents total-order Sobol’ indices. Lastly, the SobolAnalysis.plot() method represents the estimations of both first-order and total-order Sobol’ indices along with their 95% confidence interval.

The user can select the algorithm to estimate the Sobol’ indices. The computation relies on OpenTURNS capabilities.
