Answer:
(A) First-order analysis
Step-by-step explanation:
Variance based analyisis, also known as Sobol method, decomposes the variance of the output of a model into fractions. By this why you can atributed them to one or a set of inputs.
For example:
"Argentina's gross domestic product had dropped more than 50% last year. This is explained almost entirely because there was a 60% depreciation of the local currency and not that much because of the closing of several industries."
GDP is one variable, Local currency value & industrial growth are two inputs.
