Perturbed-Law based sensitivity Indices (PLI) for quantile

Description

PLIquantile computes the Perturbed-Law based Indices (PLI) for quantile, which are robustness indices related to a quantile of a model output, estimated by a Monte Carlo method, See Sueur et al. (2017) and Iooss et al. (2020).

Usage

PLIquantile(order,x,y,deltasvector,InputDistributions,type="MOY",samedelta=TRUE,
            percentage=TRUE,nboot=0,conf=0.95,bootsample=TRUE)

Arguments

`order`	the order of the quantile to estimate.
`x`	the matrix of simulation points coordinates, one column per variable.
`y`	the vector of model outputs.
`deltasvector`	a vector containing the values of delta for which the indices will be computed.
`InputDistributions`	a list of list. Each list contains, as a list, the name of the distribution to be used and the parameters. Implemented cases so far: For a mean perturbation: Gaussian, Uniform, Triangle, Left Trucated Gaussian, Left Truncated Gumbel. Using Gumbel requires the package `evd`. For a variance perturbation: Gaussian, Uniform.
`type`	a character string in which the user will specify the type of perturbation wanted. The sense of "deltasvector" varies according to the type of perturbation: type can take the value "MOY",in which case deltasvector is a vector of perturbated means. type can take the value "VAR",in which case deltasvector is a vector of perturbated variances, therefore needs to be positive integers.
`samedelta`	a boolean used with the value "MOY" for type. If it is set at TRUE, the mean perturbation will be the same for all the variables. If not, the mean perturbation will be new_mean = mean+sigma*delta where mean, sigma are parameters defined in InputDistributions and delta is a value of deltasvector.
`percentage`	a boolean that defines the formula used for the PLI. If it is set at FALSE, the initially proposed formula is used (see Sueur et al., 2017). If not (set as TRUE), the PLI is given in percentage of variation of the quantile (see Iooss et al., 2020).
`nboot`	the number of bootstrap replicates.
`conf`	the confidence level for bootstrap confidence intervals.
`bootsample`	If TRUE, the uncertainty about the original quantile estimation is taken into account in the PLI confidence intervals (see Iooss et al., 2021). If FALSE, standard confidence intervals are computed for the PLI. It mainly changes the CI at small delta values.

Value

PLIquantile returns a list of matrices (each column corresponds to an input, each line corresponds to a twist of amplitude delta) containing the following components:

`PLI`	the PLI.
`PLICIinf`	the bootstrap lower confidence interval values of the PLI.
`PLICIsup`	the bootstrap upper confidence interval values of the PLI.
`quantile`	the perturbed quantile.
`quantileCIinf`	the bootstrap lower confidence interval values of the perturbed quantile.
`quantileCIsup`	the bootstrap upper confidence interval values of the perturbed quantile.
