Abstract

This self teaching curriculum on sensitivity analysis techniques consists of three parts: (1) Use of the Latin Hypercube Sampling Program (Iman, Davenport and Ziegler, Latin Hypercube Sampling (Program User's Guide), SAND79-1473, January 1980); (2) Use of the Stepwise Regression Program (Iman, et al., Stepwise Regression with PRESS and Rank Regression (Program User's Guide) SAND79-1472, January 1980); and (3) Application of the procedures to sensitivity and uncertainty analyses of the groundwater transport model MWFT/DVM (Campbell, Iman and Reeves, Risk Methodology for Geologic Disposal of Radioactive Waste - Transport Model Sensitivity Analysis; SAND80-0644, NUREG/CR-1377, June 1980: Campbell, Longsine, and Reeves, The Distributed Velocity Method of Solving the Convective-Dispersion Equation, SAND80-0717, NUREG/CR-1376, July 1980). This curriculum is one in a series developed by Sandia National Laboratories for transfer of the capability to use the technology developed under the NRC funded High Level Waste Methodology Development Program.

Risk-assessment-methodology development for waste isolation in geologic media. Technical review of documents NUREG/CR-0394, NUREG/CR-0424, NUREG/CR-0458

Technical Report Stevens, C A ; Fullwood, R R ; Basin, S L

A review of five documents that were prepared for the USNRC by Sandia Laboratories is presented in this report. The documents covered in the present review include: NUREG/CR-1262, NUREG/CR-1376, NUREG/CR-1377, NUREG/CR-1397 and NUREG/CR-1608. This constitutes the second phase of the review; the first phase was reported in Volume 1 of NUREG/CR-1672, November 1980. Two of the documents concern simplified computational methods illustrative of the calculations necessary to produce a response surface. Three of the reports pertain to statistical methods, including the application of Latin hypercube Sampling (LHS). The following observations have been made relative to the above reports: (1) themore »« less
Fortran 77 program and user's guide for the generation of Latin hypercube and random samples for use with computer models

Technical Report Iman, R L ; Shortencarier, M J

This document has been designed for users of the computer program developed by the authors at Sandia National Laboratories for the generation of either Latin hypercube or random multivariate samples. The Latin hypercube technique employs a constrained sampling scheme, whereas random sampling corresponds to a simple Monte Carlo technique. The generation of these samples is based on information supplied to the program by the user describing the variables or parameters used as input to the computer model. The actual sampled values are used to form vectors of variables commonly used as input to computer models for purposes of sensitivity andmore »« less

FORTRAN 77 program and user's guide for the calculation of partial correlation and standardized regression coefficients

Technical Report Iman, R L ; Shortencarier, M J ; Johnson, J D

This document is for users of a computer program developed by the authors at Sandia National Laboratories. The computer program is designed to be used in conjunction with sensitivity analyses of complex computer models. In particular, this program is most useful in analyzing input-output relationships when the input has been selected using the Latin hypercube sampling program developed at Sandia (Iman and Shortencarier, 1984). The present computer program calculates the partial correlation coefficients and/or the standardized regression coefficients from the multivariate input to, and output from, a computer model. These coefficients can be calculated on either the original observations ormore »« less
Uncertainty analysis

Technical Report Thomas, R E

An evaluation is made of the suitability of analytical and statistical sampling methods for making uncertainty analyses. The adjoint method is found to be well-suited for obtaining sensitivity coefficients for computer programs involving large numbers of equations and input parameters. For this purpose the Latin Hypercube Sampling method is found to be inferior to conventional experimental designs. The Latin hypercube method can be used to estimate output probability density functions, but requires supplementary rank transformations followed by stepwise regression to obtain uncertainty information on individual input parameters. A simple Cork and Bottle problem is used to illustrate the efficiency ofmore »« less

Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis Results Obtained in the 1996 Performance Assessment for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant

Technical Report Bean, J E ; Berglund, J W ; Davis, F J ; ...

The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WPP) is located in southeastern New Mexico and is being developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the geologic (deep underground) disposal of transuranic (TRU) waste. A detailed performance assessment (PA) for the WIPP was carried out in 1996 and supports an application by the DOE to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the certification of the WIPP for the disposal of TRU waste. The 1996 WIPP PA uses a computational structure that maintains a separation between stochastic (i.e., aleatory) and subjective (i.e., epistemic) uncertainty, with stochastic uncertainty arising from the manymore »« less
