sensiFdiv: Sensitivity Indices based on Csiszar f-divergence

Description

sensiFdiv conducts a density-based sensitivity analysis where the impact of an input variable is defined in terms of dissimilarity between the original output density function and the output density function when the input variable is fixed. The dissimilarity between density functions is measured with Csiszar f-divergences. Estimation is performed through kernel density estimation and the function kde of the package ks.

Usage

sensiFdiv(model = NULL, X, fdiv = "TV", nboot = 0, conf = 0.95, ...)
# S3 method for sensiFdiv
tell(x, y = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for sensiFdiv
print(x, ...)
# S3 method for sensiFdiv
plot(x, ylim = c(0, 1), ...)
# S3 method for sensiFdiv
ggplot(data, mapping = aes(), ylim = c(0, 1), ..., environment
                 = parent.frame())

Value

sensiFdiv returns a list of class "sensiFdiv", 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 Csiszar f-divergence sensitivity indices. If several divergences have been selected, Sis a list where each element encompasses the estimations of the sensitivity indices for one of the divergence.

Arguments

model

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

X

a matrix or data.frame representing the input random sample.

fdiv

a string or a list of strings specifying the Csiszar f-divergence to be used. Available choices are "TV" (Total-Variation), "KL" (Kullback-Leibler), "Hellinger" and "Chi2" (Neyman chi-squared).

nboot

the number of bootstrap replicates

conf

the confidence level for confidence intervals.

x

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

data

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

y

a vector of model responses.

ylim

y-coordinate plotting limits.

mapping

Default list of aesthetic mappings to use for plot. If not specified, must be supplied in each layer added to the plot.

environment

[Deprecated] Used prior to tidy evaluation.

...

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

Details

Some of the Csiszar f-divergences produce sensitivity indices that have already been studied in the context of sensitivity analysis. In particular, "TV" leads to the importance measure proposed by Borgonovo (2007) (up to a constant), "KL" corresponds to the mutual information (Krzykacz-Hausmann 2001) and "Chi2" produces the squared-loss mutual information. See Da Veiga (2015) for details.
