The school illustrates the motivations to conduct sensitivity analysis on simulation models and offers an accessible treatment to the techniques used in global sensitivity analysis. The program begins with the first principles of sensitivity analysis and guides the student through the full range of recommended practices with exercises and application examples.
The scientific programme will include: introduction to SA and overview of techniques, sensitivity analysis vs. sensitivity auditing, graphical methods, high dimensional model representations, polynomial chaos expansions, derivative-based measures, variance-based and screening methods, moment independent methods, sensitivity analysis with given data, sensitivity measures for correlated inputs, metamodelling with smoothing techniques, metamodelling with Gaussian processes, practicum with simlab/matlab, sensitivity analysis in the construction of composite indicators, round table with selected case studies from students.
The instructors are William Becker (JRC), Andrea Pagano (JRC), Andrea Saltelli (JRC), Stefano Tarantola (JRC), Bertrand Iooss (EDF, France), Emanuele Borgonovo (Bocconi University), Elmar Plischke (Clausthal University), Thierry Mara (Reunion University) and Sergei Kucherenko (Imperial College London).
Candidatures to the school (CV plus short motivation letter) have to be sent to sensitivity-analysis@jrc.ec.europa.eu by 15 January 2014. The school can accommodate up to 25 participants. The evaluation of candidatures will be donebefore 15 February, 2014. Successful candidates will be informed not later than February 28, 2014.
