• Abstract summary: The sensitivity of correlated parameters can not only differ in magnitude, but even the sign of the derivative-based index can be inverted. We demonstrate that the sensitivity of the correlated parameters can not only differ in magnitude, but even the sign of the derivative-based index can be inverted.

• Abstract: Sensitivity analysis is an important tool used in many domains of computational science to either gain insight into the mathematical model and interaction of its parameters or study the uncertainty propagation through the input-output interactions. In many applications, the inputs are stochastically dependent, which violates one of the essential assumptions in the state-of-the-art sensitivity analysis methods. Consequently, the results obtained ignoring the correlations provide values which do not reflect the true contributions of the input parameters. This study proposes an approach to address the parameter correlations using a polynomial chaos expansion method and Rosenblatt and Cholesky transformations to reflect the parameter dependencies. Treatment of the correlated variables is discussed in context of variance and derivative-based sensitivity analysis. We demonstrate that the sensitivity of the correlated parameters can not only differ in magnitude, but even the sign of the derivative-based index can be inverted, thus significantly altering the model behavior compared to the prediction of the analysis disregarding the correlations. Numerous experiments are conducted using workflow automation tools within the VECMA toolkit.

  Current theory of global sensitivity analysis is limited in scope-for instance, the analysis is limited to the output's variance. It is shown that these important problems are solved all at once by adopting a new paradigm.

  We find that transitivity acts as a key role in impeding the identifiability of latent causal representations. Under some mild assumptions, we can show that the latent causal representations can be identified up to trivial permutation and scaling. We propose a novel method, termed Structural caUsAl Variational autoEncoder, which directly learns latent causal representations and causal relationships among them.
