Dear list, I would like to calculate Sobol indices (first-order and total indices) with the sobol2002 function in the 'sensitivity' package for a hydrologic model. The input of my model consists of a parameter vector, the output of a single value (agreement between observed and simulated stream flow). I cannot run my model for a parameter matrix (each line = parameter vector); therefore, I need a loop over lines. However, sobol2002 does not seem to work for loops (see simplified code below). #parameter dataframes library(sensitivity) n <- 10 X1 <- data.frame(matrix(runif(2 * n), nrow = n)) X2 <- data.frame(matrix(runif(2 * n), nrow = n)) #Function without loop FUN1 <- function(X) { OUT <- X[,1] OUT } x_FUN1 <- sobol2002(model = FUN1, X1 = X1, X2 = X2, nboot = 100) ##works! #Function with loop FUN2 <- function(X) { OUT <- rep(NA, n) for (i in 1:n) {OUT[i] <- X[i,1]} OUT } x_FUN2 <- sobol2002(model = FUN2, X1 = X1, X2 = X2, nboot = 100) ##fails! I am grateful for any hints, how I can use sobol2002 for a model based on a parameter vectors! Regards, Haeru [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
