Global Sensitivity Analysis Methods for Identifying Key Parameters
In many real-world applications involving production data, simulated data, or data from experiments, one is interested in identifying the key input parameters, i.e., those (groups of) parameters that have a high influence on the output. Sensitivity analysis methods address this task by measuring the uncertainty in output based on the [...]
