Sensitivity analysis

The package sensitivity

Capabilities to run a sensitivity analysis.

This package contains:

The base class SensitivityAnalysis

Abstract class for the computation and analysis of sensitivity indices.

The purpose of a sensitivity analysis is to qualify or quantify how the model’s uncertain inputs impact its outputs.

This analysis relies on SensitivityAnalysis computed from a MDODiscipline representing the model, a ParameterSpace describing the uncertain parameters and options associated with a particular concrete class inheriting from SensitivityAnalysis which is an abstract one.

class gemseo.uncertainty.sensitivity.analysis.SensitivityAnalysis(disciplines, parameter_space, n_samples=None, output_names=None, algo=None, algo_options=None, formulation='MDF', **formulation_options)[source]

Sensitivity analysis.

The SensitivityAnalysis class provides both the values of SensitivityAnalysis.indices and their graphical representations, from either the SensitivityAnalysis.plot() method, the SensitivityAnalysis.plot_radar() method or the SensitivityAnalysis.plot_bar() method.

It is also possible to use SensitivityAnalysis.sort_parameters() to get the parameters sorted according to SensitivityAnalysis.main_method. The SensitivityAnalysis.main_indices are indices computed with the latter.

Lastly, the SensitivityAnalysis.plot_comparison() method allows to compare the current SensitivityAnalysis with another one.

Parameters:
  • disciplines (Collection[MDODiscipline]) – The discipline or disciplines to use for the analysis.

  • parameter_space (ParameterSpace) – A parameter space.

  • n_samples (int | None) – 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”.

  • **formulation_options (Any) – The options of the MDOFormulation.
