SobolIndicesExperiment

class SobolIndicesExperiment(*args)

Experiment to computeSobol’ indices.

Available constructors:

SobolIndicesExperiment(distribution, size, computeSecondOrder=False)

SobolIndicesExperiment(experiment, computeSecondOrder=False)

Parameters:
distributionDistribution

Distribution \mu with an independent copula used to generate the set of input data.

sizepositive int

Size N of each of the two independent initial samples. For the total size of the experiment see notes below.

experimentWeightedExperiment

Design of experiment used to sample the distribution.

computeSecondOrderbool, defaults to False

Whether to add points to compute second order indices

Notes

Sensitivity algorithms rely on the definition of specific designs.

The generate() method of this class produces a Sample to be supplied to the constructor of one of the SobolIndicesAlgorithm implementations:

The chosen SobolIndicesAlgorithm implementation then uses the sample as input design, which means it represents (but is not a realization of) a random vector \vect{X} = \left( X^1, \ldots, X^{n_X} \right).

Either the Distribution of \vect{X} or a WeightedExperiment that represents it must be supplied to the class constructor.

If a WeightedExperiment is supplied, the class uses it directly.

If the distribution of \vect{X} is supplied, the class generates a WeightedExperiment. To do this, it duplicates the distribution: every marginal is repeated once to produce a 2 n_X-dimensional distribution. This trick makes it possible to choose a WeightedExperiment with non-iid samples (that is a LHSExperiment or a LowDiscrepancyExperiment) to represent the original n_X-dimensional distribution.

The type of WeightedExperiment depends on the value of 'SobolIndicesExperiment-SamplingMethod' in the ResourceMap:

'MonteCarlo' is the default choice because it allows the chosen SobolIndicesAlgorithm implementation to use the asymptotic distribution of the estimators of the Sobol’ indices.

Note that 'QMC' is only possible if 2 n_X \leqslant SobolSequence.MaximumDimension. If 'QMC' is specified but 2 n_X > SobolSequence.MaximumDimension, the class falls back to 'LHS'.

>>> from openturns import SobolSequence
>>> print(SobolSequence.MaximumDimension)
1111

Regardless of the type of WeightedExperiment, the class splits it into two samples with the same size N: \mat{A} and \mat{B}. Their columns are mixed in order to produce a very large sample: the inputDesign argument taken by one of the constructors of every SobolIndicesAlgorithm implementation.

If computeSecondOrder is set to False, the input design is of size N(2+n_X). The first N rows contain the sample \mat{A} and the next N rows the sample \mat{B}. The last N n_X rows contain n_X copies of \mat{A}, each with a different column replaced by the corresponding column from \mat{B} (they are the matrices \mat{E}^i from the documentation page of SobolIndicesAlgorithm).

If computeSecondOrder is set to True and n_X = 2, the input design is the same as in the case where computeSecondOrder is False (see [saltelli2002]).

If computeSecondOrder is set to True and n_X \neq 2, the input design size is N(2+2 n_X). The first N(2+n_X) rows are the same as when computeSecondOrder is False. The last N n_X rows contain n_X copies of \mat{B}, each with a different column replaced by the corresponding column from \mat{A} (they are the matrices \mat{C}^i from the documentation page of SobolIndicesAlgorithm).

Examples

Create a sample suitable to estimate first and total order Sobol’ indices:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> formula = ['sin(pi_*X1)+7*sin(pi_*X2)^2+0.1*(pi_*X3)^4*sin(pi_*X1)']
>>> model = ot.SymbolicFunction(['X1', 'X2', 'X3'], formula)
>>> distribution = ot.ComposedDistribution([ot.Uniform(-1.0, 1.0)] * 3)
>>> size = 10
>>> experiment = ot.SobolIndicesExperiment(distribution, size)
>>> sample = experiment.generate()

Create a sample suitable to estimate first, total order and second order Sobol’ indices:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0)
>>> formula = ['sin(pi_*X1)+7*sin(pi_*X2)^2+0.1*(pi_*X3)^4*sin(pi_*X1)']
>>> model = ot.SymbolicFunction(['X1', 'X2', 'X3'], formula)
>>> distribution = ot.ComposedDistribution([ot.Uniform(-1.0, 1.0)] * 3)
>>> size = 10
>>> computeSecondOrder = True
>>> experiment = ot.SobolIndicesExperiment(distribution, size, computeSecondOrder)
>>> sample = experiment.generate()
