RooStats::BayesianCalculator Class Reference

BayesianCalculator is a concrete implementation of IntervalCalculator, providing the computation of a credible interval using a Bayesian method.

The class works only for one single parameter of interest and it integrates the likelihood function with the given prior probability density function to compute the posterior probability. The result of the class is a one dimensional interval (class SimpleInterval ), which is obtained from inverting the cumulative posterior distribution. This calculator works then only for model with a single parameter of interest. The model can instead have several nuisance parameters which are integrated (marginalized) in the computation of the posterior function. The integration and normalization of the posterior is computed using numerical integration methods provided by ROOT. See the MCMCCalculator for model with multiple parameters of interest.

The interface allows one to construct the class by passing the data set, probability density function for the model, the prior functions and then the parameter of interest to scan. The nuisance parameters can also be passed to be marginalized when computing the posterior. Alternatively, the class can be constructed by passing the data and the ModelConfig containing all the needed information (model pdf, prior pdf, parameter of interest, nuisance parameters, etc..)

After configuring the calculator, one only needs to ask GetInterval(), which will return an SimpleInterval object. By default the extrem of the integral are obtained by inverting directly the cumulative posterior distribution. By using the method SetScanOfPosterior(nbins) the interval is then obtained by scanning the posterior function in the given number of points. The first method is in general faster but it requires an integration one extra dimension ( in the poi in addition to the nuisance parameters), therefore in some case it can be less robust.

The class can also return the posterior function (method GetPosteriorFunction) or if needed the normalized posterior function (the posterior pdf) (method GetPosteriorPdf). A posterior plot is also obtained using the GetPosteriorPlot method.

The class allows to use different integration methods for integrating in (marginalizing) the nuisances and in the poi. All the numerical integration methods of ROOT can be used via the method SetIntegrationType (see more in the documentation of this method).

Calculator estimating a credible interval using the Bayesian procedure. The calculator computes given the model the posterior distribution and estimates the credible interval from the given function.

◆ SetIntegrationType()

void RooStats::BayesianCalculator::SetIntegrationType ( const char *  type)

set the integration type (possible type are) :

  • 1D integration ( used when only one nuisance and when the posterior is scanned): adaptive , gauss, nonadaptive
  • multidim:
    • ADAPTIVE, adaptive numerical integration The parameter numIters (settable with SetNumIters) is the max number of function calls. It can be reduced to make the integration faster but it will be difficult to reach the required tolerance
    • VEGAS MC integration method based on importance sampling - numIters is number of function calls Extra Vegas parameter can be set using IntegratorMultiDimOptions class
    • MISER MC integration method based on stratified sampling See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_integration for VEGAS and MISER description
    • PLAIN simple MC integration method, where the max number of calls can be specified using SetNumIters(numIters)

Extra integration types are:

  • TOYMC: evaluate posterior by generating toy MC for the nuisance parameters. It is a MC integration, where the function is sampled according to the nuisance. It is convenient to use when all the nuisance are uncorrelated and it is efficient to generate them The toy are generated by default for each poi values (this method has been proposed and provided by J.P Chou)
  • 1-TOYMC : same method as before but in this case the toys are generated only one time and then used for each poi value. It can be convenient when the generation time is much larger than the evaluation time, otherwise it is recommended to re-generate the toy for each poi scanned point of the posterior function
  • ROOFIT: use roofit default integration methods which will produce a nested integral (not recommended for more than 1 nuisance parameters)
