Better estimation of small Sobol' sensitivity indices

arXiv:1204.4763133 citationsh-index: 60

Analysis pending

A new method for estimating Sobol' indices is proposed. The new method makes use of 3 independent input vectors rather than the usual 2. It attains much greater accuracy on problems where the target Sobol' index is small, even outperforming some oracles which adjust using the true but unknown mean of the function. When the target Sobol' index is quite large, the oracles do better than the new method.

Foundations

The foundational work for this paper's niche, ranked by how specifically the neighbourhood builds on it — not by global fame.
