Quick Start
-----------

Procedural approach
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: python

    from SALib.sample import saltelli
    from SALib.analyze import sobol
    from SALib.test_functions import Ishigami
    import numpy as np

    problem = {
      'num_vars': 3,
      'names': ['x1', 'x2', 'x3'],
      'bounds': [[-np.pi, np.pi]]*3
    }

    # Generate samples
    param_values = saltelli.sample(problem, 1024)

    # Run model (example)
    Y = Ishigami.evaluate(param_values)

    # Perform analysis
    Si = sobol.analyze(problem, Y, print_to_console=True)
    # Returns a dictionary with keys 'S1', 'S1_conf', 'ST', and 'ST_conf'
    # (first and total-order indices with bootstrap confidence intervals)

It's also possible to specify the parameter bounds in a file with 3
columns:

::

    # name lower_bound upper_bound
    P1 0.0 1.0
    P2 0.0 5.0
    ...etc.

Then the ``problem`` dictionary above can be created from the
``read_param_file`` function:

.. code:: python

    from SALib.util import read_param_file
    problem = read_param_file('/path/to/file.txt')
    # ... same as above

Lots of other options are included for parameter files, as well as a
command-line interface. See the `advanced
section in the documentation <https://salib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced.html>`__.


Method chaining approach
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chaining calls is supported from SALib v1.4

.. code:: python

    from SALib import ProblemSpec
    from SALib.test_functions import Ishigami

    import numpy as np


    # By convention, we assign to "sp" (for "SALib Problem")
    sp = ProblemSpec({
      'names': ['x1', 'x2', 'x3'],   # Name of each parameter
      'bounds': [[-np.pi, np.pi]]*3,  # bounds of each parameter
      'outputs': ['Y']               # name of outputs in expected order
    })

    (sp.sample_saltelli(1024, calc_second_order=True)
       .evaluate(Ishigami.evaluate)
       .analyze_sobol(print_to_console=True))

    print(sp)

    # Samples, model results and analyses can be extracted:
    print(sp.samples)
    print(sp.results)
    print(sp.analysis)

    # Basic plotting functionality is also provided
    sp.plot()


The above is equivalent to the procedural approach shown previously.

Also check out the `FAQ <https://github.com/SALib/SALib/tree/main/FAQ.md>`__ and
`examples <https://github.com/SALib/SALib/tree/main/examples>`__ for a
full description of options for each method.
