SALib 1.0.2

Tools for sensitivity analysis. Contains Sobol, Morris, and FAST methods

##Sensitivity Analysis Library (SALib)

Python implementations of commonly used sensitivity analysis methods. Useful in systems modeling to calculate the effects of model inputs or exogenous factors on outputs of interest.

### Quick Start
```python
from SALib.sample import saltelli
from SALib.analyze import sobol
from SALib.test_functions import Ishigami
import numpy as np

problem = {
'num_vars': 3,
'names': ['x1', 'x2', 'x3'],
'bounds': [[-np.pi, np.pi]]*3
}

# Generate samples
param_values = saltelli.sample(problem, 1000, calc_second_order=True)

# Run model (example)
Y = Ishigami.evaluate(param_values)

# Perform analysis
Si = sobol.analyze(problem, Y, print_to_console=False)
# Returns a dictionary with keys 'S1', 'S1_conf', 'ST', and 'ST_conf'
# (first and total-order indices with bootstrap confidence intervals)
```

It's also possible to specify the parameter bounds in a file with 3 columns:
```
# name lower_bound upper_bound
P1 0.0 1.0
P2 0.0 5.0
...etc.
```

Then the `problem` dictionary above can be created from the `read_param_file` function:
```python
from SALib.util import read_param_file
problem = read_param_file('/path/to/file.txt')
# ... same as above
```

Lots of other options are included for parameter files, as well as a command-line interface. See the [advanced readme](README-advanced.md).

Also check out the [examples](https://github.com/SALib/SALib/tree/master/examples) for a full description of options for each method.
