Sensitivity Analysis and Validation for Numerical Simulation of Water Infiltration into Unsaturated Soil

Table 2

Statistical measures (, , and ) of elementary effects method. They are the mean of elementary effects, the mean of absolute values of the elementary effects, and the standard deviation, respectively. Note that is residual volumetric water content, is saturated volumetric water content, is saturated hydraulic conductivity, is spatial spacing size, is time-step size, is initial value of volumetric water content, and , , , and are fitting coefficients.
