Factorial Designs as a Tool for Fuzzy Sensitivity Analysis Problems

pdf PDF

ABSTRACT

The paper is concentrated on the interval sensitivity analysis which can be useful for model-building, and can be a profitable tool of deeper understanding complex physical processes. The method presented has a known number of combinations of endpoints necessary for computation. Sensitivity indices enable the identification both of main effects and higher order interactions effects in such types of problems in which the uncertainty of input and output parameters is expressed by intervals. The presented strategy of calculation of sensitivity indices is an appropriate completion of such types of computation technologies which are tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation.
