By default type = ot.AnalyticalResult.ELLIPTICAL.

Notes

  • If the importance factors are evaluated as the square of the co-factors of the design point in the U-space :

    \alpha_i^2 = \frac{(u_i^*)^2}
                  {\beta_{HL}^2}

  • If the importance factors are evaluated as the square of the co-factors of the design point in the Y-space :

    \alpha_i^2 = \frac{(y_i^*)^2}
                  {\|\vect{y}^*\|^2}

    where

    Y^* = \left(
      \begin{array}{c}
          E^{-1}\circ F_1(X_1^*) \\

      \right)

    with \vect{X}^* is the design point in the physical space and E the univariate standard CDF of the elliptical space. In the case where the input distribution of \vect{X} has an elliptical copula C_E, then E has the same type as C_E. In the case where the input distribution of \vect{X} has a copula C which is not elliptical, then E=\Phi where \Phi is the CDF of the standard normal.

  • If the importance factors are evaluated as the square of the physical sensitivities :

    \alpha_i^2 = \displaystyle \frac{s_i^2}{{\|s\|}^2}

    where

    s_i = \displaystyle \frac{\partial \beta}{\partial x_i} (x^*)
