analysis module¶

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.

class gemseo.uncertainty.sensitivity.sobol.analysis.SobolAnalysis(disciplines, parameter_space, n_samples, output_names=None, algo=None, algo_options=None, formulation='MDF', compute_second_order=True, use_asymptotic_distributions=True, **formulation_options)[source]¶

Bases: SensitivityAnalysis

Sensitivity analysis based on the Sobol’ indices.

Examples

>>> from numpy import pi
>>> from gemseo.api import create_discipline, create_parameter_space
>>> from gemseo.uncertainty.sensitivity.sobol.analysis import SobolAnalysis
>>>
>>> expressions = {"y": "sin(x1)+7*sin(x2)**2+0.1*x3**4*sin(x1)"}
>>> discipline = create_discipline(
...     "AnalyticDiscipline", expressions=expressions
... )
>>>
>>> parameter_space = create_parameter_space()
>>> parameter_space.add_random_variable(
...     "x1", "OTUniformDistribution", minimum=-pi, maximum=pi
... )
>>> parameter_space.add_random_variable(
...     "x2", "OTUniformDistribution", minimum=-pi, maximum=pi
... )
>>> parameter_space.add_random_variable(
...     "x3", "OTUniformDistribution", minimum=-pi, maximum=pi
... )
>>>
>>> analysis = SobolAnalysis([discipline], parameter_space, n_samples=10000)
>>> indices = analysis.compute_indices()

Parameters:

disciplines (Collection[MDODiscipline]) – The discipline or disciplines to use for the analysis.
parameter_space (ParameterSpace) – A parameter space.
n_samples (int) – A number of samples. If None, the number of samples is computed by the algorithm.
output_names (Iterable[str] | None) – The disciplines’ outputs to be considered for the analysis. If None, use all the outputs.
algo (str | None) – The name of the DOE algorithm. If None, use the SensitivityAnalysis.DEFAULT_DRIVER.
algo_options (Mapping[str, DOELibraryOptionType] | None) – The options of the DOE algorithm.
formulation (str) –
The name of the MDOFormulation to sample the disciplines.

By default it is set to “MDF”.
compute_second_order (bool) –
Whether to compute the second-order indices.

By default it is set to True.
use_asymptotic_distributions (bool) –
Whether to estimate the confidence intervals of the first- and total-order Sobol’ indices with the asymptotic distributions.

By default it is set to True.
**formulation_options (Any) – The options of the MDOFormulation.

Notes

The estimators of Sobol’ indices rely on the same DOE algorithm. This algorithm starts with two independent input datasets composed of \(N\) independent samples and this number \(N\) is the usual sampling size for Sobol’ analysis. When compute_second_order=False or when the input dimension \(d\) is equal to 2, \(N=\frac{n_\text{samples}}{2+d}\). Otherwise, \(N=\frac{n_\text{samples}}{2+2d}\). The larger \(N\), the more accurate the estimators of Sobol’ indices are. Therefore, for a small budget n_samples, the user can choose to set compute_second_order to False to ensure a better estimation of the first- and second-order indices.
