Abstract

The use of sensitivity indicators is explicitly recommended by authorities like the EC, the US EPA and others in model valuation and audit. In this note, we want to draw the attention to a numerically efficient algorithm that computes first order global sensitivity effects from given data using a discrete cosine transformation.
