The school will illustrate the motivations to conduct sensitivity analysis (SA) on simulation models and offers an accessible treatment to the techniques used in global sensitivity analysis. The programme will begin with the first principles of sensitivity analysis and will guide the students 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, exercises for students, sensitivity analysis for spatial and time-dependent input, round table with selected case studies from students. A preliminary list of instructors is: Andrea Saltelli (University Autonoma de Barcelona - University of Bergen), William Becker (JRC), Stefano Tarantola (JRC), Biagio Ciuffo (JRC), Rossana Rosati (JRC), Daniel Albrecht (JRC), Vincenzo Punzo (University of Naples), Emanuele Borgonovo (Bocconi University), Thierry Mara (University of La Reunion), Sergei Kucherenko (Imperial College London), Nathalie Saint-Geours (iTK, Montpellier) and other lecturers to be confirmed. You can submit your application by sending your CV and a motivation letter to: sensitivity-analysis@jrc.ec.europa.eu The deadline for submitting applications is December 10 2015. The organising committee will not accept late candidatures. The school can accommodate up to 25 participants. The evaluation of candidatures will be done before 15 January 2016.
