Description Usage Arguments Details Value
tell
and ask
are S3 generic methods for decoupling
simulations and sensitivity measures estimations. In general, they are
not used by the end-user for a simple R model, but rather for an
external computational code. Most of the sensitivity analyses objects
of this package overload tell
, whereas ask
is overloaded
for iterative methods only.

x |
a typed list storing the state of the sensitivity study
(parameters, data, estimates), as returned by sensitivity analyses
objects constructors, such as |
y |
a vector of model responses. |

additional arguments, depending on the method used. |
When a sensitivity analysis method is called with no model
(i.e. argument model = NULL
), it generates an incomplete object
x
that stores the design of experiments (field X
),
allowing the user to launch "by hand" the corresponding
simulations. The method tell
allows to pass these simulation
results to the incomplete object x
, thereafter estimating the
sensitivity measures.
When the method is iterative, the data to simulate are not stored in
the sensitivity analysis object x
, but generated at each
iteration with the ask
method; see for example
sb
.
tell
doesn't return anything. It computes the sensitivity
measures, and stores them in the list x
.
Side effect: tell
modifies its argument x
.
ask
returns the set of data to simulate.
