Abstract

Global sensitivity analysis provides insight into how sources of uncertainty contribute to uncertainty in predictions of computational models. Global sensitivity indices, also called variance-based sensitivity indices and Sobol indices, are most often computed with Monte Carlo methods. However, when the computational model is computationally expensive and only a small number of samples can be generated, that is, in so-called small-data settings, usual Monte Carlo estimates may lack sufficient accuracy. As a means of improving accuracy in such small-data settings, we explore the use of probabilistic learning. The objective of the probabilistic learning is to learn from the available samples a probabilistic model that can be used to generate additional samples, from which Monte Carlo estimates of the global sensitivity indices are then deduced. We demonstrate the interest of such a probabilistic learning method by applying it in an illustration concerned with forecasting the contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet to sea-level rise.
