SoBioS: Sobol' Indices for Biological Systems is an easy-to-run Matlab code used for Sobol' indices-based global sensitivity analysis of Biological Systems. The implementation follows an educational style, to make its use very intuitive.
This package includes the following modules:
- SoBioS_CaseName.m - main file for the simulation (use servaral resourses from UQLab package);
- QoI_CaseName.m - function to compute the Quantity of Interest (QoI).
This code was developed as a pedagogical tool to teach the basics of global sensitivity analysis of biological systems via Sobol' indices. A tutorial explaining the theory and practical aspects behind SoBioS package is provided in the following book chapter:

(eds) Networks in Systems Biology: Applications for Disease Modeling. Computational Biology, vol 32. Springer, Cham https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-51862-2_6
In order to use the SoBioS code, it is necessary to have UQLab package installed: https://www.uqlab.com
This external package is free for academic use.
