SimulationSensitivityAnalysis

class SimulationSensitivityAnalysis(*args)

Class to perform a sensitivity analysis based on a reliability event.

Available constructor:

SimulationSensitivityAnalysis(event, inputSample, outputSample)

SimulationSensitivityAnalysis(event)

SimulationSensitivityAnalysis(simulationRes)

Parameters
eventRandomVector

An event which it composite (test is with the method isComposite).

inputSample, outputSample2-d sequence of float

Input sample and output sample of a model evaluated apart.

simulationResProbabilitySimulationResult

A simulation result.

Notes

The simulation sensitivity analysis is based on:

  • in the first usage, the inputSample and outputSample given:

  • in the second usage, the samples which have been stored by the function defining the event. Care if the sample is not a statistical sample: post treatment proposed by the object might not be right.

  • in the third usage, the samples generated by the EventSimulation that produced simulationRes.

__init__(*args)
computeEventProbabilitySensitivity()

Compute the sensitivity to the probability.

The sensitivity of the probability Pf wrt the distribution parameters \theta is written:

\vect{sens_{Pf}}_j = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n \mathbf{1}_{event} \vect{\frac{\delta log(f_{\uX})(\vect{X}_i)}{\delta \theta_j}}

Returns
sensitivity_pfPointWithDescription

The probability sensitivity.

computeImportanceFactors(*args)

Compute the importance factors.

Returns
impFactorsPointWithDescription

The importance factors.

Notes

The importance factors, given in (2), are evaluated from the coordinates of the mean point (1) of the event domain, mapped into the standard space as follows:

(1)\vect{X}^*_{event} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n \vect{X}_i 1_{event} (\vect{X}_i)

(2)\alpha_i = \frac{ (U_i^*)^2 }{ \left\| \vect{U}^* \right\| }

where

\vect{U}^* = T(\vect{X}^*_{event})

Be careful: this notion is only valid for MonteCarlo or LHS sampling as the mean is evaluated from the equation (2) (only uniform weights over the realizations \vect{X}_i.

computeMeanPointInEventDomain(*args)

Accessor to the mean point.

Returns
meanPoint

The mean point in the failure domain.

Notes

This method computes the mean point in the physical space of all the simulations generated by the simulation that failed into the event domain.

Be careful: this notion is only valid for Monte Carlo or LHS sampling as the mean is evaluated from the equation (1) (only uniform weights over the realizations \vect{X}_i.

drawImportanceFactors()

Draw the importance factors.

Returns
graphGraph

Graph containing the pie corresponding to the importance factors of the probabilistic variables.

drawImportanceFactorsRange(*args)

Draw the importance factors evolution.

Parameters
probabilityScaleboolean

Set True if the limits are the probability levels; set False if the limits are the thresholds defining the event.

lower, upperfloats

Define the boundaries of the probability levels p_{min} and p_{max} or those of the thresholds s_{min} and s_{max}.

Returns
graphGraph

A graph that draws the evolution of the importance factors of each direction with respect to p \in [p_{min}, p_{max}] or s \in [s_{min}, s_{max}]. The importance factors are evaluated from the definition (2) for each threshold s or probability p.
