  • Time series
  • Field
  • Performance metric

Local partial derivative sensitivity (LSA) is based on partial derivatives. True or false

True
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

How is local sensitivity determined?

  1. Local slope
  2. Locally linearalize our model
  3. Multiply with stdev of parameter
  4. Determine variance

What is the implication of assuming local linearity in your model?

If you assume a normal distribution for your parameter, you will come up with a norm dist for your model as well

How does LSA work for models with >1 parameters?

  1. Look at p1 and its local slope around best guess value * st dev in this parameter
  2. Get expression for var in M given this parameter
  3. Put p1 back to its base value
  4. Look at p2: again look at local slope * st dev in p2, get expression for var in M
  5. Add var caused by p1 and var caused by p2, then calculate total var of model and determine which var can be assigned to which parameter

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
