Short summary
Some numerical models generate "maps", for example temperature or precipitation maps produced by numerical weather prediction models. These maps often contain "objects", for example a storm. Features of these objects are generally affected by the parameters of the numerical model. This paper puts forth a methodology for exposing both the strength and the statistical significance of the effect of the model parameters on object features.
