Sensitivity indices are commonly used to quantity the relative inuence of any specic group of input variables on the output of a computer code. In this paper, we focus both on computer codes the output of which is a cumulative distribution function and on stochastic computer codes. We propose a way to perform a global sensitivity analysis for these kinds of computer codes. In the rst setting, we dene two indices: the rst one is based on Wasserstein Fr{e}chet means while the second one is based on the Hoeding decomposition of the indicators of Wasserstein balls. Further, when dealing with the stochastic computer codes, we dene an ideal version of the stochastic computer code thats ts into the frame of the rst setting. Finally, we deduce a procedure to realize a second level global sensitivity analysis, namely when one is interested in the sensitivity related to the input distributions rather than in the sensitivity related to the inputs themselves. Several numerical studies are proposed as illustrations in the dierent settings.

In this paper, we introduce new indices adapted to outputs valued in general metric spaces. This new class of indices encompasses the classical ones; in particular, the so-called Sobol indices and the Cram{e}r-von-Mises indices. Furthermore, we provi de asymptotically Gaussian estimators of these indices based on U-statistics. Surprisingly, we prove the asymp-totic normality straightforwardly. Finally, we illustrate this new procedure on a toy model and on two real-data examples.

The so-called polynomial chaos expansion is widely used in computer experiments. For example, it is a powerful tool to estimate Sobol sensitivity indices. In this paper, we consider generalized chaos expansions built on general tensor Hilbert basis. In this frame, we revisit the computation of the Sobol indices and give general lower bounds for these indices. The case of the eigenfunctions system associated with a Poincar{e} differential operator leads to lower bounds involving the derivatives of the analyzed function and provides an efficient tool for variable screening. These lower bounds are put in action both on toy and real life models demonstrating their accuracy.
To estimate direct and indirect effects of an exposure on an outcome from observed data strong assumptions about unconfoundedness are required. Since these assumptions cannot be tested using the observed data, a mediation analysis should always be ac companied by a sensitivity analysis of the resulting estimates. In this article we propose a sensitivity analysis method for parametric estimation of direct and indirect effects when the exposure, mediator and outcome are all binary. The sensitivity parameters consist of the correlation between the error terms of the mediator and outcome models, the correlation between the error terms of the mediator model and the model for the exposure assignment mechanism, and the correlation between the error terms of the exposure assignment and outcome models. These correlations are incorporated into the estimation of the model parameters and identification sets are then obtained for the direct and indirect effects for a range of plausible correlation values. We take the sampling variability into account through the construction of uncertainty intervals. The proposed method is able to assess sensitivity to both mediator-outcome confounding and confounding involving the exposure. To illustrate the method we apply it to a mediation study based on data from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke).
Global sensitivity analysis (GSA) of numerical simulators aims at studying the global impact of the input uncertainties on the output. To perform the GSA, statistical tools based on inputs/output dependence measures are commonly used. We focus here o n dependence measures based on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces: the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion denoted HSIC. Sometimes, the probability distributions modeling the uncertainty of inputs may be themselves uncertain and it is important to quantify the global impact of this uncertainty on GSA results. We call it here the second-level global sensitivity analysis (GSA2). However, GSA2, when performed with a double Monte Carlo loop, requires a large number of model evaluations which is intractable with CPU time expensive simulators. To cope with this limitation, we propose a new statistical methodology based on a single Monte Carlo loop with a limited calculation budget. Firstly, we build a unique sample of inputs from a well chosen probability distribution and the associated code outputs are computed. From this inputs/output sample, we perform GSA for various assumed probability distributions of inputs by using weighted HSIC measures estimators. Statistical properties of these weighted esti-mators are demonstrated. Finally, we define 2 nd-level HSIC-based measures between the probability distributions of inputs and GSA results, which constitute GSA2 indices. The efficiency of our GSA2 methodology is illustrated on an analytical example, thereby comparing several technical options. Finally, an application to a test case simulating a severe accidental scenario on nuclear reactor is provided.
We investigate predictive density estimation under the $L^2$ Wasserstein loss for location families and location-scale families. We show that plug-in densities form a complete class and that the Bayesian predictive density is given by the plug-in den sity with the posterior mean of the location and scale parameters. We provide Bayesian predictive densities that dominate the best equivariant one in normal models.
