Global Reliability Sensitivity Analysis Based on Maximum Entropy and 2-Layer Polynomial Chaos Expansion [PDF]
To optimize contributions of uncertain input variables on the statistical parameter of given model, e.g., reliability, global reliability sensitivity analysis (GRSA) provides an appropriate tool to quantify the effects.

Decision-theoretic reliability sensitivity [PDF]
We propose and discuss sensitivity metrics for reliability analysis, which are based on the value of information. These metrics are easier to interpret than other existing sensitivity metrics in the context of a specific decision and they are applicable to any type of reliability assessment, including those with dependent inputs.

A Review on Local Failure Probability Sensitivity Analysis
When assessing the reliability of a system, a mathematical model is often defined to replicate the system’s behavior. The inputs of the system are then gathered into two categories, random inputs and deterministic inputs.

Density modification-based reliability sensitivity analysis [PDF]
Sensitivity analysis of a numerical model, for instance simulating physical phenomena, is useful to quantify the influence of the inputs on the model responses. This paper proposes a new sensitivity index, based upon the modification of the probability density function (pdf) of the random inputs, when the quantity of interest is a failure probability ...

A SENSITIVE, RELIABLE INEXPENSIVE TOUCH DETECTOR [PDF]
Research in our laboratory required a sensitive, reliable, inexpensive touch detector for use with rats to test the reinforcement of inhibition (e.g., Anger, 1983). A small touch detector was also desirable so that the detector could be mounted on the rat's cage close to the object being touched by the rat, whose touches in turn were being detected by ...
