STRUCTURAL GLOBAL SENSITIVITY METHOD BASED ON PARTIAL DERIVATIVE WHOLE DOMAIN INTEGRAL by TU LongWei, LIU Jie, LIU GuangZhao, ZHANG Zheng

“…Then,local sensitivity method based on partial derivative was extended to a global sensitivity method by integrating partial derivatives of model variables in variable sapces. In addition,the paper redefined a more conveniently calculated sensitivity indice that can achieve effective decomposition for the high-order sensitivity indices,and the sensitivity results directly corresponded to model variables without the high-order indices,which had more practical engineering significance. …”
