The Morris method has been proposed as a screening method to identify a subset of inputs that have the greatest influence on the outputs.Sobol SA is a global, variance-based method that attributes variance in the model output to individual parameters and their interactions.Mutual entropy analysis is a sensitivity analysis method in which the mutual entropy of two variables is regarded as the correlative extent between these two variables. The distribution character of data (X, Y) can be expressed by contingency tables. The HBV model and TOPMODEL are used as a test problem. There are thirteen and nine parameters in the HBV model and TOPMODEL models, respectively. In each model, samples of the model parameter space are obtained using a latin-hypercube. The convergence analysis has been performed by increasing the number of simulations until there was no significant change of the sensitivity measure. In addition, the three SA methods are evaluated and compared in terms of convergence, the related evolution of the parameter ranking results and required computation cost.<br style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" /> The sensitivity and interaction analysis based onSobol, Morris screen and Entropy methods were applied.
