sobolmara: Monte Carlo Estimation of Sobol' Indices via matrix permutations

Description

sobolmara implements the Monte Carlo estimation of the first-order Sobol' sensitivity indices using the formula of Mara and Joseph (2008), called the Mara estimator. This method allows the estimation of all first-order p indices at a cost of 2N model calls (the random sample size), then independently of p (the number of inputs).

Usage

sobolmara(model = NULL, X1, …)
# S3 method for sobolmara
tell(x, y = NULL, return.var = NULL, …)
# S3 method for sobolmara
print(x, …)
# S3 method for sobolmara
plot(x, ylim = c(0, 1), …)
# S3 method for sobolmara
ggplot(x, ylim = c(0, 1), …)

Arguments

model

a function, or a model with a predict method, defining the model to analyze.

X1

the random sample.

x

a list of class "sobolEff" storing the state of the sensitivity study (parameters, data, estimates).

y

a vector of model responses.

return.var

a vector of character strings giving further internal variables names to store in the output object x.

ylim

y-coordinate plotting limits.

…

any other arguments for model which are passed unchanged each time it is called.

Value

sobolmara returns a list of class "sobolmara", containing all the input arguments detailed before, plus the following components:

call

the matched call.

X

a data.frame containing the design of experiments.

y

a vector of model responses.

S

the estimations of the Sobol' sensitivity indices.

Details

The estimator used by sobolmara is based on rearragement of a unique matrix via random permutations (see Mara and Joseph, 2008). Bootstrap confidence intervals are not available.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Test case : the non-monotonic Sobol g-function

# The method of sobolmara requires 1 sample
# (there are 8 factors, all following the uniform distribution on [0,1])
n <- 1000
X1 <- data.frame(matrix(runif(8 * n), nrow = n))

# sensitivity analysis
x <- sobolmara(model = sobol.fun, X1 = X1)
print(x)
plot(x)

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(x)
