Results Tab

The Results tab shows the sensitivity analysis reults performed using the software. This tab is divided into two main sections:

Step 2

1. Sensitivity Indices Main Effects

This section summarizes the main effects of each variable on the system being analyzed. The following columns are featured:

  • Variable Name: Lists the variables included in the sensitivity analysis.
  • Sensitivity Index: This column presents sensitivity indices calculated using the selected method(s). The cells are highlighted according to the sensitivity index measure:
  • High Sensitivity Index: Highlighted in red.

  • Low Sensitivity Index: Highlighted in blue.

  • The last cell in this section shows the summation of the sensitivity indices $$\Sigma S_i$$. If the summation is larger than 1, it will turn red to indicate potential issues with the model's representativeness.

  • You can copy the content of the table by selecting the desired column, right-clicking, and then choosing the copy option. This allows for easy transfer of data to other applications or documents.

2. HDMR Results

The HDMR (High Dimensional Model Representation) Results section provides a detailed view of the interaction effects among variables. This section is structured as follows:

  • Main Effects: The first rows represents the main effects of each variable on the output.
  • Interaction Terms: Following the main effects, the subsequent rows display interaction terms in the format (X_i/X_j), which indicate the interactions between pairs of variables.

The cells in this section are also color-coded based on the sensitivity index (SI) values: - High Sensitivity Index: Highlighted in red. - Low Sensitivity Index: Highlighted in blue.

Column Descriptions

  • Sa: Indicates the uncorrelated contribution of a term, measuring the individual effect of the variable without considering interactions.
  • Sa_conf: Displays the confidence interval for the uncorrelated contribution (Sa), providing a range of values that reflects the uncertainty in this measure.
  • Sb: Represents the correlated contribution of a term, which includes the effects from interactions with other variables.
  • Sb_conf: Shows the confidence interval for the correlated contribution (Sb), offering a range for the associated uncertainties.
  • S: Denotes the total contribution of a particular term, calculated as the sum of Sa and Sb. This value represents the combined first, second, and third-order sensitivity indices for the term.
  • S_conf: Displays the confidence interval for the total contribution (S), providing insight into the reliability of this overall measure.

3. Charts Navigation Tab

In this section, users can navigate through the generated charts resulting from the sensitivity analysis method applied. The Charts Navigation Tab provides a variety of visual representations of the data, allowing users to easily interpret the results and identify patterns.

Note: The CUSUNORO chart will always be generated as part of the output, regardless of the sensitivity analysis method used.

4. Plot Area

The Plot Area is where the visual representations of the data are displayed. This is the section where the selected chart appears, allowing users to visually analyze the results of the sensitivity analysis. Users can observe trends, relationships, and the significance of different variables based on the plotted data, facilitating a clearer understanding of the analysis outcomes.

5. Navigation Tool Bar

The Navigation Tool Bar provides essential functionalities for interacting with the figures displayed in the Plot Area. Here, users can perform various actions, such as:

  • Edit: Modify the appearance or settings of the chart.
  • Save: Save the generated figure in multiple formats for reporting or further analysis.
  • Zoom: Adjust the view of the plot for a more detailed examination of specific data points.
