Introduction
APEXSENSUN is a package in R for performing uncertainty and sensitivity analysis (SA) for the APEX model.The package was primarily developed for USDA-ARS Grazinglands Research Laboratory to assist in parametrization of the APEX model. For more information on the structure of APEXSENSUN and citation, please refer to: Paper
Example folder
An example folder containing an APEX project and other inputs is available for users to test the package. The rest of this manual provides details of implementing an SA project using the accompanying example folder which can be created through a call to:
# Loading APEXSENSUN package in R:
library(APEXSENSUN)
# Creating a copy of tutorial folder inside the working directory
getExampleFolder()
Steps for performing SA
After loading APEXSENSUN and generating a copy of the example folder, the following four steps, described in the next sections should be followed for performing SA.
# 1) Generating a list object with a predefined structure compatible to APEXSENSUN:
globalInput <- APEXSENSUN::inputGen()
# 2) Setting the required inputs (e.g. uncertainty boubds, SA method, sample size, ...)
#
# Setting uncertainty bounds:

globalInput$apexPARM$Microbial_decay_coeff[1] = 0.5
globalInput$apexPARM$Microbial_decay_coeff[2] = 1.5
# SA method and sample size:
globalInput$gsaType <- "SRC"
globalInput$sampleSize <- 1000
# 3) Performing Monte Carlo simulation using the setting in globalInput:
input4SA <- mc4APEX(globalInput)
# 4) Calculation of sensitivity indices:
sa4APEX(globalInput,input4SA = input4SA)
Postprocessing and model calibration
APEXSENSUN can be used for computing performance matrix containing the performance of different Monte Carlo runs. The calculated performance matrix can be subsequently used for identifying simulations that meet a set of criteria.
# Calculation of performance matrix (containing RMSE, NASH, PBIAS, MEAN) for different Monte Carlo runs:
perfMat <- APEXSENSUN::dws2perf(observedFilePath ="Example/Observed_Files/observed.txt",
dwsFolderPath = "Example/Calculated_Outputs/DWS",
startDate="2002-01-01", endDate="2003-01-01",
captionDwsVar="ET", captionObsVar="ET",TW="week")
# Detecting simulation numbers meeting performance criteria:
acceptedSimulations <- perf2idx(perfMatrix = perfMat,
lowLimit = c(0, -25, 10, 0),
upLimit = c(10, 100, 25, 5))
