Uncertainties exist in both physics-based and data-driven models. Variance-based sensitivity analysis characterizes how the variance of a model output is propagated from the model inputs. The Sobol index is one of the most widely used sensitivity indices for models with independent inputs. For models with dependent inputs, different approaches have been explored to obtain sensitivity indices in the literature. Typical approaches are based on procedures of transforming the dependent inputs into independent inputs. However, such transformation requires additional information about the inputs, such as the dependency structure or the conditional probability density functions. In this paper, data-driven sensitivity indices are proposed for models with dependent inputs. We first construct ordered partitions of linearly independent polynomials of the inputs. The modified Gram-Schmidt algorithm is then applied to the ordered partitions to generate orthogonal polynomials with respect to the empirical measure based on observed data of model inputs and outputs. Using the polynomial chaos expansion with the orthogonal polynomials, we obtain the proposed data-driven sensitivity indices. The sensitivity indices provide intuitive interpretations of how the dependent inputs affect the variance of the output without a priori knowledge on the dependence structure of the inputs. Three numerical examples are used to validate the proposed approach.

Polynomial chaos expansions (PCEs) have been used in many real-world engineering applications to quantify how the uncertainty of an output is propagated from inputs. PCEs for models with independent inputs have been extensively explored in the litera ture. Recently, different approaches have been proposed for models with dependent inputs to expand the use of PCEs to more real-world applications. Typical approaches include building PCEs based on the Gram-Schmidt algorithm or transforming the dependent inputs into independent inputs. However, the two approaches have their limitations regarding computational efficiency and additional assumptions about the input distributions, respectively. In this paper, we propose a data-driven approach to build sparse PCEs for models with dependent inputs. The proposed algorithm recursively constructs orthonormal polynomials using a set of monomials based on their correlations with the output. The proposed algorithm on building sparse PCEs not only reduces the number of minimally required observations but also improves the numerical stability and computational efficiency. Four numerical examples are implemented to validate the proposed algorithm.
Sensitivity analysis (SA) is an important aspect of process automation. It often aims to identify the process inputs that influence the process outputs variance significantly. Existing SA approaches typically consider the input-output relationship as a black-box and conduct extensive random sampling from the actual process or its high-fidelity simulation model to identify the influential inputs. In this paper, an alternate, novel approach is proposed using a sparse polynomial chaos expansion-based model for a class of input-output relationships represented as directed acyclic networks. The model exploits the relationship structure by recursively relating a network node to its direct predecessors to trace the output variance back to the inputs. It, thereby, estimates the Sobol indices, which measure the influence of each input on the output variance, accurately and efficiently. Theoretical analysis establishes the validity of the model as the prediction of the network output converges in probability to the true output under certain regularity conditions. Empirical evaluation on two manufacturing processes shows that the model estimates the Sobol indices accurately with far fewer observations than a state-of-the-art Monte Carlo sampling method.
Sensitivity indices when the inputs of a model are not independent are estimated by local polynomial techniques. Two original estimators based on local polynomial smoothers are proposed. Both have good theoretical properties which are exhibited and a lso illustrated through analytical examples. They are used to carry out a sensitivity analysis on a real case of a kinetic model with correlated parameters.
The surrogate model-based uncertainty quantification method has drawn a lot of attention in recent years. Both the polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) and the deep learning (DL) are powerful methods for building a surrogate model. However, the PCE needs to increase the expansion order to improve the accuracy of the surrogate model, which causes more labeled data to solve the expansion coefficients, and the DL also needs a lot of labeled data to train the neural network model. This paper proposes a deep arbitrary polynomial chaos expansion (Deep aPCE) method to improve the balance between surrogate model accuracy and training data cost. On the one hand, the multilayer perceptron (MLP) model is used to solve the adaptive expansion coefficients of arbitrary polynomial chaos expansion, which can improve the Deep aPCE model accuracy with lower expansion order. On the other hand, the adaptive arbitrary polynomial chaos expansions properties are used to construct the MLP training cost function based on only a small amount of labeled data and a large scale of non-labeled data, which can significantly reduce the training data cost. Four numerical examples and an actual engineering problem are used to verify the effectiveness of the Deep aPCE method.
The increasing uncertainty level caused by growing renewable energy sources (RES) and aging transmission networks poses a great challenge in the assessment of total transfer capability (TTC) and available transfer capability (ATC). In this paper, a n ovel data-driven sparse polynomial chaos expansion (DDSPCE) method is proposed for estimating the probabilistic characteristics (e.g., mean, variance, probability distribution) of probabilistic TTC (PTTC). Specifically, the proposed method, requiring no pre-assumed probabilistic distributions of random inputs, exploits data sets directly in estimating the PTTC. Besides, a sparse scheme is integrated to improve the computational efficiency. Numerical studies on the modified IEEE 118-bus system demonstrate that the proposed DDSPCE method can achieve accurate estimation for the probabilistic characteristics of PTTC with a high efficiency. Moreover, numerical results reveal the great significance of incorporating discrete random inputs in PTTC and ATC assessment, which nevertheless was not given sufficient attention.
