New MM-GSA method analyzes input relevance from observational data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed MM-GSA, a novel metamodel-based approach for Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) using observational data. This method approximates the input-output relationship through supervised learning, addressing limitations where repeated evaluations are not feasible. MM-GSA incorporates two key indices: a model-agnostic estimator for the first-order Sobol' index, which measures an input's contribution to response variability, and a new trigger-based structural index that assesses predictive performance based on predictor availability. Both estimators have demonstrated consistency, with the structural index showing a variable-selection property under input independence. Applications in Monte Carlo experiments and the NHANES dataset illustrate their complementary nature in understanding input relevance. AI

    Learning Global Sensitivity Indices from Observational Data: A Metamodel-Based Approach

    arXiv:2609.40342v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classical variance-based Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) assumes that the input--output mechanism can be repeatedly evaluated under a designed sampling scheme, which is infeasible when only a given sample of observations is avai…
