 Saltelli Sampling
 =================
 
+Saltelli sampling is a method to draw samples for the purpose of Sobol'
+sensitvity analysis (variance-based sensitivity analysis). Detailed description
+of the theory can be found in :cite:t:`Saltelli2002` and :cite:t:`Saltelli2010`.
+The :class:`.Saltelli` class relies on the Python package `SALib` :cite:p:`Herman2017`.
