The Ishigami function

The Ishigami function of Ishigami & Homma (1990) is recurrent test case for sensitivity analysis methods and uncertainty.

Let a=7 and b=0.1 (see Crestaux et al. (2007) and Marrel et al. (2009)). We consider the function

g(X_1,X_2,X_3) = \sin(X_1)+a \sin (X_2)^2 + b X_3^4 \sin(X_1)

for any X_1,X_2,X_3\in[-\pi,\pi]

We assume that the random variables X_1,X_2,X_3 are independent and have the uniform marginal distribution in the interval from -\pi to \pi:

X_1,X_2,X_3\sim \mathcal{U}(-\pi,\pi).

Analysis

The expectation and the variance of Y are

E(Y)  = \frac{a}{2}

and

V(Y) = \frac{1}{2} +  \frac{a^2}{8} +  \frac{b^2 \pi^8}{18} +  \frac{b\pi^4}{5}.

The Sobol’ decomposition variances are

V_1     = \frac{1}{2} \left(1 + b\frac{\pi^4}{5} \right)^2, \qquad
V_2     = \frac{a^2}{8}, \qquad
V_{1,3} = b^2 \pi^8 \frac{8}{225}

and V_3=V_{1,2} = V_{2,3}=V_{1,2,3} = 0.

This leads to the following first order Sobol’ indices:

S_1 = \frac{V_1}{V(Y)}, \qquad S_2 = \frac{V_2}{V(Y)}, \qquad S_3 = 0,

and the following total order indices:

ST_1 = \frac{V_1+V_{1,3}}{V(Y)}, \qquad ST_2 = S_2, \qquad S_3 = \frac{V_{1,3}}{V(Y)}.

The third variable X_3 has no effect at first order (because X_3^4 it is multiplied by \sin(X_1)), but has a total effet because of the interactions with X_1. On the other hand, the second variable X_2 has no interactions which implies that the first order indice is equal to the total order indice for this input variable.
