# Example demonstrating usage of HybridCalcultor
#
# A hypothesis testing example based on number counting
# with background uncertainty.
#
# NOTE: This example must be run with the ACLIC (the + option ) due to the
# new class that is defined.
#
# This example:
#  - demonstrates the usage of the HybridCalcultor (Part 4-6)
#  - demonstrates the numerical integration of RooFit (Part 2)
#  - validates the RooStats against an example with a known analytic answer
#  - demonstrates usage of different test statistics
#  - explains subtle choices in the prior used for hybrid methods
#  - demonstrates usage of different priors for the nuisance parameters
#
# The basic setup here is that a main measurement has observed x events with an
# expectation of s+b.  One can choose an ad hoc prior for the uncertainty on b,
# or try to base it on an auxiliary measurement.  In this case, the auxiliary
# measurement (aka control measurement, sideband) is another counting experiment
# with measurement y and expectation tau*b.  With an 'original prior' on b,
# called \f$\eta(b)\f$ then one can obtain a posterior from the auxiliary measurement
# \f$\pi(b) = \eta(b) * Pois(y|tau*b).\f$  This is a principled choice for a prior
# on b in the main measurement of x, which can then be treated in a hybrid
# Bayesian/Frequentist way.  Additionally, one can try to treat the two
# measurements simultaneously, which is detailed in Part 6 of the tutorial.
#
# This tutorial is related to the FourBin.C tutorial in the modeling, but
# focuses on hypothesis testing instead of interval estimation.
#
# More background on this 'prototype problem' can be found in the
# following papers:

# Now we demonstrate the RooStats HybridCalculator.
#
# Like all RooStats calculators it needs the data and a ModelConfig
# for the relevant hypotheses.  Since we are doing hypothesis testing
# we need a ModelConfig for the null (background only) and the alternate
# (signal+background) hypotheses.  We also need to specify the PDF,
# the parameters of interest, and the observables.  Furthermore, since
# the parameter of interest is floating, we need to specify which values
# of the parameter corresponds to the null and alternate (eg. s=0 and s=50)
#
# define some sets of variables obs={x} and poi={s}
# note here, x is the only observable in the main measurement
# and y is treated as a separate measurement, which is used
# to produce the prior that will be used in this calculation
# to randomize the nuisance parameters.
w.defineSet("obs", "x")
w.defineSet("poi", "s")
 
# create a toy dataset with the x=150
data = ROOT.RooDataSet("d", "d", w.set("obs"))
data.add(w.set("obs"))
 
# Part 3a : Setup ModelConfigs
# -------------------------------------------------------
# create the null (background-only) ModelConfig with s=0
b_model = ROOT.RooStats.ModelConfig("B_model", w)
b_model.SetPdf(w.pdf("px"))
b_model.SetObservables(w.set("obs"))
b_model.SetParametersOfInterest(w.set("poi"))
w.var("s").setVal(0.0)
# important!
b_model.SetSnapshot(w.set("poi"))
 
# create the alternate (signal+background) ModelConfig with s=50
sb_model = ROOT.RooStats.ModelConfig("S+B_model", w)
sb_model.SetPdf(w.pdf("px"))
sb_model.SetObservables(w.set("obs"))
sb_model.SetParametersOfInterest(w.set("poi"))
w.var("s").setVal(50.0)
# important!
sb_model.SetSnapshot(w.set("poi"))
 
# Part 3b : Choose Test Statistic
# ----------------------------------
# To make an equivalent calculation we need to use x as the test
# statistic.  This is not a built-in test statistic in RooStats
# so we define it above.  The new class inherits from the
# TestStatistic interface, and simply returns the value
# of x in the dataset.
 
binCount = ROOT.BinCountTestStat("x")
 
# Part 3c : Define Prior used to randomize nuisance parameters
# -------------------------------------------------------------
#
# The prior used for the hybrid calculator is the posterior
# from the auxiliary measurement y.  The model for the aux.
# measurement is Pois(y|tau*b), thus the likelihood function
# is proportional to (has the form of) a Gamma distribution.
# if the 'original prior' $\eta(b)$ is uniform, then from
# Bayes's theorem we have the posterior:
# $\pi(b) = Pois(y|tau*b) * \eta(b)$
# If $\eta(b)$ is flat, then we arrive at a Gamma distribution.
# Since RooFit will normalize the PDF we can actually supply
# $py=Pois(y,tau*b)$ that will be equivalent to multiplying by a uniform.
#
# Alternatively, we could explicitly use a gamma distribution:
# `w.factory("Gamma::gamma(b,sum::temp(y,1),1,0)");`
#
# or we can use some other ad hoc prior that do not naturally
# follow from the known form of the auxiliary measurement.
# The common choice is the equivalent Gaussian:
w.factory("Gaussian::gauss_prior(b,y, expr::sqrty('sqrt(y)',y))")
# this corresponds to the "Z_N" calculation.
#
# or one could use the analogous log-normal prior
w.factory("Lognormal::lognorm_prior(b,y, expr::kappa('1+1./sqrt(y)',y))")
#
# Ideally, the HybridCalculator would be able to inspect the full
# model $Pois(x | s+b) * Pois(y | tau b )$ and be given the original
# prior $\eta(b)$ to form $\pi(b) = Pois(y|tau*b) * \eta(b)$.
# This is not yet implemented because in the general case
# it is not easy to identify the terms in the PDF that correspond
# to the auxiliary measurement.  So for now, it must be set
# explicitly with:
#  - ForcePriorNuisanceNull()
#  - ForcePriorNuisanceAlt()
# the name "ForcePriorNuisance" was chosen because we anticipate
# this to be auto-detected, but will leave the option open
# to force to a different prior for the nuisance parameters.
