TEfficiency Class Reference

Class to handle efficiency histograms.

I. Overview

This class handles the calculation of efficiencies and their uncertainties. It provides several statistical methods for calculating frequentist and Bayesian confidence intervals as well as a function for combining several efficiencies.

Efficiencies have a lot of applications and meanings but in principle, they can be described by the fraction of good/passed events k out of sample containing N events. One is usually interested in the dependency of the efficiency on other (binned) variables. The number of passed and total events is therefore stored internally in two histograms (TEfficiency::fTotalHistogram and TEfficiency::fPassedHistogram). Then the efficiency, as well as its upper and lower error, can be calculated for each bin individually.

As the efficiency can be regarded as a parameter of a binomial distribution, the number of passed and total events must always be integer numbers. Therefore a filling with weights is not possible. However, you can assign a global weight to each TEfficiency object (TEfficiency::SetWeight). It is necessary to create one TEfficiency object for each weight if you investigate a process involving different weights. This procedure needs more effort but enables you to re-use the filled object in cases where you want to change one or more weights. This would not be possible if all events with different weights were filled in the same histogram.

II. Creating a TEfficiency object

If you start a new analysis, it is highly recommended to use the TEfficiency class from the beginning. You can then use one of the constructors for fixed or variable bin size and your desired dimension. These constructors append the created TEfficiency object to the current directory. So it will be written automatically to a file during the next TFile::Write command.

Example: create a two-dimensional TEfficiency object with

Example 1

TEfficiency* pEff = 0;
TFile* pFile = new TFile("myfile.root","recreate");
//h_pass and h_total are valid and consistent histograms
if(TEfficiency::CheckConsistency(h_pass,h_total))
{
pEff = new TEfficiency(h_pass,h_total);
// this will write the TEfficiency object to "myfile.root"
// AND pEff will be attached to the current directory
pEff->Write();
}

Example 2

TEfficiency* pEff = 0;
TFile* pFile = new TFile("myfile.root","recreate");
//h_pass and h_total are valid and consistent histograms
if(TEfficiency::CheckConsistency(h_pass,h_total))
{
pEff = new TEfficiency(h_pass,h_total);
//this will attach the TEfficiency object to the current directory
//now all objects in gDirectory will be written to "myfile.root"
pFile->Write();
}
#define gDirectory
Definition: TDirectory.h:213

Sets the directory holding this TEfficiency object.
virtual Int_t Write(const char *name=0, Int_t opt=0, Int_t bufsiz=0)

Definition: TFile.cxx:2335

In case you already have two filled histograms and you only want to plot them as a graph, you should rather use TGraphAsymmErrors::TGraphAsymmErrors(const TH1* pass,const TH1* total,Option_t* opt) to create a graph object.

III. Filling with events

You can fill the TEfficiency object by calling the TEfficiency::Fill(Bool_t bPassed,Double_t x,Double_t y,Double_t z) method. The "bPassed" boolean flag indicates whether the current event is good (both histograms are filled) or not (only TEfficiency::fTotalHistogram is filled). The x, y and z variables determine the bin which is filled. For lower dimensions, the z- or even the y-value may be omitted.

You can also set the number of passed or total events for a bin directly by using the TEfficiency::SetPassedEvents or TEfficiency::SetTotalEvents method.

IV. Statistic options

The calculation of the estimated efficiency depends on the chosen statistic option. Let k denotes the number of passed events and N the number of total events.

Frequentist methods

The expectation value of the number of passed events is given by the true efficiency times the total number of events. One can estimate the efficiency by replacing the expected number of passed events by the observed number of passed events.

\[ k = \epsilon \times N \Rightarrow \hat{\varepsilon} = \frac{k}{N} \]

Bayesian methods

In Bayesian statistics a likelihood-function (how probable is it to get the observed data assuming a true efficiency) and a prior probability (what is the probability that a certain true efficiency is actually realised) are used to determine a posterior probability by using Bayes theorem. At the moment, only beta distributions (have 2 free parameters) are supported as prior probabilities.

\begin{eqnarray*} P(\epsilon | k ; N) &=& \frac{1}{norm} \times P(k | \epsilon ; N) \times Prior(\epsilon) \\ P(k | \epsilon ; N) &=& Binomial(N,k) \times \epsilon^{k} \times (1 - \epsilon)^{N - k} ...\ binomial\ distribution \\ Prior(\epsilon) &=& \frac{1}{B(\alpha,\beta)} \times \epsilon ^{\alpha - 1} \times (1 - \epsilon)^{\beta - 1} \equiv Beta(\epsilon; \alpha,\beta) \\ \Rightarrow P(\epsilon | k ; N) &=& \frac{1}{norm'} \times \epsilon^{k + \alpha - 1} \times (1 - \epsilon)^{N - k + \beta - 1} \equiv Beta(\epsilon; k + \alpha, N - k + \beta) \end{eqnarray*}

By default the expectation value of this posterior distribution is used as an estimator for the efficiency:

\[ \hat{\varepsilon} = \frac{k + \alpha}{N + \alpha + \beta} \]

Optionally the mode can also be used as a value for the estimated efficiency. This can be done by calling SetBit(kPosteriorMode) or TEfficiency::SetPosteriorMode. In this case, the estimated efficiency is:

\[ \hat{\varepsilon} = \frac{k + \alpha -1}{N + \alpha + \beta - 2} \]

In the case of a uniform prior distribution, B(x,1,1), the posterior mode is k/n, equivalent to the frequentist estimate (the maximum likelihood value).

The statistic options also specify which confidence interval is used for calculating the uncertainties of the efficiency. The following properties define the error calculation:

In the following table, the implemented confidence intervals are listed with their corresponding statistic option. For more details on the calculation, please have a look at the mentioned functions.

V. Merging and combining TEfficiency objects

In many applications, the efficiency should be calculated for an inhomogeneous sample in the sense that it contains events with different weights. In order to be able to determine the correct overall efficiency, it is necessary to use for each subsample (= all events with the same weight) a different TEfficiency object. After finishing your analysis you can then construct the overall efficiency with its uncertainty.

This procedure has the advantage that you can change the weight of one subsample easily without rerunning the whole analysis. On the other hand, more effort is needed to handle several TEfficiency objects instead of one histogram. In the case of many different or even continuously distributed weights, this approach becomes cumbersome. One possibility to overcome this problem is the usage of binned weights.

Example

In particle physics weights arises from the fact that you want to normalise your results to a certain reference value. A very common formula for calculating weights is

\begin{eqnarray*} w &=& \frac{\sigma L}{N_{gen} \epsilon_{trig}} \\ &-& \sigma ...\ cross\ section \\ &-& L ...\ luminosity \\ &-& N_{gen}\ ... number\ of\ generated\ events \\ &-& \epsilon_{trig}\ ...\ (known)\ trigger\ efficiency \\ \end{eqnarray*}

The reason for different weights can therefore be:

Depending on the actual meaning of different weights in your case, you should either merge or combine them to get the overall efficiency.

V.1 When should I use merging?

If the weights are artificial and do not represent real alternative hypotheses, you should merge the different TEfficiency objects. That means especially for the Bayesian case that the prior probability should be the same for all merged TEfficiency objects. The merging can be done by invoking one of the following operations:

The result of the merging is stored in the TEfficiency object which is marked bold above. The contents of the internal histograms of both TEfficiency objects are added and a new weight is assigned. The statistic options are not changed.

\[ \frac{1}{w_{new}} = \frac{1}{w_{1}} + \frac{1}{w_{2}} \]

Example:

If you use two samples with different numbers of generated events for the same process and you want to normalise both to the same integrated luminosity and trigger efficiency, the different weights then arise just from the fact that you have different numbers of events. The TEfficiency objects should be merged because the samples do not represent true alternatives. You expect the same result as if you would have a big sample with all events in it.

\[ w_{1} = \frac{\sigma L}{\epsilon N_{1}}, w_{2} = \frac{\sigma L}{\epsilon N_{2}} \Rightarrow w_{new} = \frac{\sigma L}{\epsilon (N_{1} + N_{2})} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{w_{1}} + \frac{1}{w_{2}}} \]

V.2 When should I use combining?

You should combine TEfficiency objects whenever the weights represent alternatives processes for the efficiency. As the combination of two TEfficiency objects is not always consistent with the representation by two internal histograms, the result is not stored in a TEfficiency object but a TGraphAsymmErrors is returned which shows the estimated combined efficiency and its uncertainty for each bin. At the moment the combination method TEfficiency::Combine only supports a combination of 1-dimensional efficiencies in a Bayesian approach.

For calculating the combined efficiency and its uncertainty for each bin only Bayesian statistics is used. No frequentists methods are presently supported for computing the combined efficiency and its confidence interval. In the case of the Bayesian statistics, a combined posterior is constructed taking into account the weight of each TEfficiency object. The same prior is used for all the TEfficiency objects.

\begin{eqnarray*} P_{comb}(\epsilon | {w_{i}}, {k_{i}} , {N_{i}}) = \frac{1}{norm} \prod_{i}{L(k_{i} | N_{i}, \epsilon)}^{w_{i}} \Pi( \epsilon )\\ L(k_{i} | N_{i}, \epsilon)\ is\ the\ likelihood\ function\ for\ the\ sample\ i\ (a\ Binomial\ distribution)\\ \Pi( \epsilon)\ is\ the\ prior,\ a\ beta\ distribution\ B(\epsilon, \alpha, \beta).\\ The\ resulting\ combined\ posterior\ is \\ P_{comb}(\epsilon |{w_{i}}; {k_{i}}; {N_{i}}) = B(\epsilon, \sum_{i}{ w_{i} k_{i}} + \alpha, \sum_{i}{ w_{i}(n_{i}-k_{i})}+\beta) \\ \hat{\varepsilon} = \int_{0}^{1} \epsilon \times P_{comb}(\epsilon | {k_{i}} , {N_{i}}) d\epsilon \\ confidence\ level = 1 - \alpha \\ \frac{\alpha}{2} = \int_{0}^{\epsilon_{low}} P_{comb}(\epsilon | {k_{i}} , {N_{i}}) d\epsilon ...\ defines\ lower\ boundary \\ 1- \frac{\alpha}{2} = \int_{0}^{\epsilon_{up}} P_{comb}(\epsilon | {k_{i}} , {N_{i}}) d\epsilon ...\ defines\ upper\ boundary \end{eqnarray*}

Example:

If you use cuts to select electrons which can originate from two different processes, you can determine the selection efficiency for each process. The overall selection efficiency is then the combined efficiency. The weights to be used in the combination should be the probability that an electron comes from the corresponding process.

\[ p_{1} = \frac{\sigma_{1}}{\sigma_{1} + \sigma_{2}} = \frac{N_{1}w_{1}}{N_{1}w_{1} + N_{2}w_{2}}\\ p_{2} = \frac{\sigma_{2}}{\sigma_{1} + \sigma_{2}} = \frac{N_{2}w_{2}}{N_{1}w_{1} + N_{2}w_{2}} \]

VI. Further operations

VI.Information about the internal histograms

The methods TEfficiency::GetPassedHistogram and TEfficiency::GetTotalHistogram return a constant pointer to the internal histograms. They can be used to obtain information about the internal histograms (e.g., the binning, number of passed / total events in a bin, mean values...). One can obtain a clone of the internal histograms by calling TEfficiency::GetCopyPassedHisto or TEfficiency::GetCopyTotalHisto. The returned histograms are completely independent from the current TEfficiency object. By default, they are not attached to a directory to avoid the duplication of data and the user is responsible for deleting them.

//open a root file which contains a TEfficiency object
TFile* pFile = new TFile("myfile.root","update");
//get TEfficiency object with name "my_eff"
TEfficiency* pEff = (TEfficiency*)pFile->Get("my_eff");
//get clone of total histogram
TH1* clone = pEff->GetCopyTotalHisto();
//change clone...
//save changes of clone directly
clone->Write();
//or append it to the current directory and write the file
//clone->SetDirectory(gDirectory);
//pFile->Write();
//delete histogram object
delete clone;
clone = 0;
virtual TObject * Get(const char *namecycle)
Return pointer to object identified by namecycle.
TH1 * GetCopyTotalHisto() const
Returns a cloned version of fTotalHistogram.
The TH1 histogram class.
Definition: TH1.h:56

It is also possible to set the internal total or passed histogram by using the methods TEfficiency::SetPassedHistogram or TEfficiency::SetTotalHistogram.

In order to ensure the validity of the TEfficiency object, the consistency of the new histogram and the stored histogram is checked. It might be impossible sometimes to change the histograms in a consistent way. Therefore one can force the replacement by passing the "f" option. Then the user has to ensure that the other internal histogram is replaced as well and that the TEfficiency object is in a valid state.

VI.2 Fitting

The efficiency can be fitted using the TEfficiency::Fit function which internally uses the TBinomialEfficiencyFitter::Fit method. As this method is using a maximum-likelihood-fit, it is necessary to initialise the given fit function with reasonable start values. The resulting fit function is attached to the list of associated functions and will be drawn automatically during the next TEfficiency::Draw command. The list of associated function can be modified by using the pointer returned by TEfficiency::GetListOfFunctions.

TCanvas* c1 = new TCanvas("example","",600,400);
c1->SetFillStyle(1001);

VI.3 Draw a TEfficiency object

A TEfficiency object can be drawn by calling the usual TEfficiency::Draw method. At the moment drawing is only supported for 1- and 2-dimensional TEfficiency objects. In the 1-dimensional case, you can use the same options as for the TGraphAsymmErrors::Draw method. For 2-dimensional TEfficiency objects, you can pass the same options as for a TH2::Draw object.

◆ TEfficiency() [1/9]

TEfficiency::TEfficiency ( )

default constructor

should not be used explicitly

Definition at line 619 of file TEfficiency.cxx.

◆ TEfficiency() [2/9]

TEfficiency::TEfficiency ( const TH1 passed,
const TH1 total 
)

constructor using two existing histograms as input

Input: passed - contains the events fulfilling some criteria total - contains all investigated events

Notes: - both histograms have to fulfill the conditions of CheckConsistency

  • dimension of the resulting efficiency object depends on the dimension of the given histograms
  • Clones of both histograms are stored internally
  • The function SetName(total.GetName() + "_clone") is called to set the names of the new object and the internal histograms..
  • The created TEfficiency object is NOT appended to a directory. It will not be written to disk during the next TFile::Write() command in order to prevent duplication of data. If you want to save this TEfficiency object anyway, you can either append it to a directory by calling SetDirectory(TDirectory*) or write it explicitly to disk by calling Write().

◆ TEfficiency() [3/9]

TEfficiency::TEfficiency ( const char *  name,
const char *  title,
Int_t  nbins,
const Double_t xbins 
)

Create 1-dimensional TEfficiency object with variable bin size.

Constructor creates two new and empty histograms with a given binning

Input:

  • name: the common part of the name for both histograms (no blanks) fTotalHistogram has name: name + "_total" fPassedHistogram has name: name + "_passed"
  • title: the common part of the title for both histogram fTotalHistogram has title: title + " (total)" fPassedHistogram has title: title + " (passed)" It is possible to label the axis by passing a title with the following format: "title;xlabel;ylabel".
  • nbins: number of bins on the x-axis
  • xbins: array of length (nbins + 1) with low-edges for each bin xbins[nbinsx] ... lower edge for overflow bin

Double_t  passed,

Double_t  alpha,
Double_t  beta,
Bool_t  bUpper,
Bool_t  bShortest = false 
)
static

Calculates the boundaries for a Bayesian confidence interval (shortest or central interval depending on the option)

Parameters
[in]totalnumber of total events
[in]passed0 <= number of passed events <= total
[in]levelconfidence level
[in]alphashape parameter > 0 for the prior distribution (fBeta_alpha)
[in]betashape parameter > 0 for the prior distribution (fBeta_beta)
[in]bUpper
  • true - upper boundary is returned
  • false - lower boundary is returned
[in]bShortest??

Note: In the case central confidence interval is calculated. when passed = 0 (or passed = total) the lower (or upper) interval values will be larger than 0 (or smaller than 1).

Calculation:

The posterior probability in bayesian statistics is given by:

\[ P(\varepsilon |k,N) \propto L(\varepsilon|k,N) \times Prior(\varepsilon) \]

As an efficiency can be interpreted as probability of a positive outcome of a Bernoullli trial the likelihood function is given by the binomial distribution:

\[ L(\varepsilon|k,N) = Binomial(N,k) \varepsilon ^{k} (1 - \varepsilon)^{N-k} \]

At the moment only beta distributions are supported as prior probabilities of the efficiency ( \( B(\alpha,\beta)\) is the beta function):

\[ Prior(\varepsilon) = \frac{1}{B(\alpha,\beta)} \varepsilon ^{\alpha - 1} (1 - \varepsilon)^{\beta - 1} \]

The posterior probability is therefore again given by a beta distribution:

\[ P(\varepsilon |k,N) \propto \varepsilon ^{k + \alpha - 1} (1 - \varepsilon)^{N - k + \beta - 1} \]

In case of central intervals the lower boundary for the equal-tailed confidence interval is given by the inverse cumulative (= quantile) function for the quantile \( \frac{1 - level}{2} \). The upper boundary for the equal-tailed confidence interval is given by the inverse cumulative (= quantile) function for the quantile \( \frac{1 + level}{2} \). Hence it is the solution \( \varepsilon \) of the following equation:

\[ I_{\varepsilon}(k + \alpha,N - k + \beta) = \frac{1}{norm} \int_{0}^{\varepsilon} dt t^{k + \alpha - 1} (1 - t)^{N - k + \beta - 1} = \frac{1 \pm level}{2} \]

In the case of shortest interval the minimum interval around the mode is found by minimizing the length of all intervals width the given probability content. See TEfficiency::BetaShortestInterval

◆ ClopperPearson()

Double_t TEfficiency::ClopperPearson ( Double_t  total,
Double_t  passed,
Double_t  level,
Bool_t  bUpper 
)
static

Calculates the boundaries for the frequentist Clopper-Pearson interval.

This interval is recommended by the PDG.

Parameters
[in]totalnumber of total events
[in]passed0 <= number of passed events <= total
[in]levelconfidence level
[in]bUppertrue - upper boundary is returned ;false - lower boundary is returned

Calculation:

The lower boundary of the Clopper-Pearson interval is the "exact" inversion of the test:

\begin{eqnarray*} P(x \geq passed; total) &=& \frac{1 - level}{2}\\ P(x \geq passed; total) &=& 1 - P(x \leq passed - 1; total)\\ &=& 1 - \frac{1}{norm} * \int_{0}^{1 - \varepsilon} t^{total - passed} (1 - t)^{passed - 1} dt\\ &=& 1 - \frac{1}{norm} * \int_{\varepsilon}^{1} t^{passed - 1} (1 - t)^{total - passed} dt\\ &=& \frac{1}{norm} * \int_{0}^{\varepsilon} t^{passed - 1} (1 - t)^{total - passed} dt\\ &=& I_{\varepsilon}(passed,total - passed + 1) \end{eqnarray*}

The lower boundary is therefore given by the \( \frac{1 - level}{2}\) quantile of the beta distribution.

The upper boundary of the Clopper-Pearson interval is the "exact" inversion of the test:

\begin{eqnarray*} P(x \leq passed; total) &=& \frac{1 - level}{2}\\ P(x \leq passed; total) &=& \frac{1}{norm} * \int_{0}^{1 - \varepsilon} t^{total - passed - 1} (1 - t)^{passed} dt\\ &=& \frac{1}{norm} * \int_{\varepsilon}^{1} t^{passed} (1 - t)^{total - passed - 1} dt\\ &=& 1 - \frac{1}{norm} * \int_{0}^{\varepsilon} t^{passed} (1 - t)^{total - passed - 1} dt\\ \Rightarrow 1 - \frac{1 - level}{2} &=& \frac{1}{norm} * \int_{0}^{\varepsilon} t^{passed} (1 - t)^{total - passed -1} dt\\ \frac{1 + level}{2} &=& I_{\varepsilon}(passed + 1,total - passed) \end{eqnarray*}

The upper boundary is therefore given by the \(\frac{1 + level}{2}\) quantile of the beta distribution.

Note: The connection between the binomial distribution and the regularized incomplete beta function \( I_{\varepsilon}(\alpha,\beta)\) has been used.

)
static
Calculates the combined efficiency and its uncertainties

This method does a bayesian combination of the given samples.

\param[in] up  contains the upper limit of the confidence interval afterwards
\param[in] low  contains the lower limit of the confidence interval afterwards
\param[in] n    number of samples which are combined
\param[in] pass array of length n containing the number of passed events
\param[in] total array of length n containing the corresponding numbers of total events
\param[in] alpha  shape parameters for the beta distribution as prior
\param[in] beta   shape parameters for the beta distribution as prior
\param[in] level  desired confidence level
\param[in] w weights for each sample; if not given, all samples get the weight 1
          The weights do not need to be normalized, since they are internally renormalized
          to the number of effective entries.
\param[in] opt
  -  mode : The mode is returned instead of the mean of the posterior as best value
            When using the mode the shortest interval is also computed instead of the central one
  -  shortest: compute shortest interval (done by default if mode option is set)
  -  central: compute central interval (done by default if mode option is NOT set)

Calculation:

The combined posterior distributions is calculated from the Bayes theorem assuming a common prior Beta distribution.
    It is easy to proof that the combined posterior is then:

\begin{eqnarray*} P_{comb}(\epsilon |{w_{i}}; {k_{i}}; {N_{i}}) &=& B(\epsilon, \sum_{i}{ w_{i} k_{i}} + \alpha, \sum_{i}{ w_{i}(n_{i}-k_{i})}+\beta)\\ w_{i} &=& weight\ for\ each\ sample\ renormalized\ to\ the\ effective\ entries\\ w^{'}_{i} &=& w_{i} \frac{ \sum_{i} {w_{i} } } { \sum_{i} {w_{i}^{2} } } \end{eqnarray*}

The estimated efficiency is the mode (or the mean) of the obtained posterior distribution

The boundaries of the confidence interval for a confidence level (1 - a) are given by the a/2 and 1-a/2 quantiles of the resulting cumulative distribution.

Example (uniform prior distribution):

◆ GetEfficiency()

Double_t TEfficiency::GetEfficiency ( Int_t  bin) const

Returns the efficiency in the given global bin.

Note:

  • The estimated efficiency depends on the chosen statistic option: for frequentist ones: \( \hat{\varepsilon} = \frac{passed}{total} \) for bayesian ones the expectation value of the resulting posterior distribution is returned: \( \hat{\varepsilon} = \frac{passed + \alpha}{total + \alpha + \beta} \) If the bit kPosteriorMode is set (or the method TEfficiency::UsePosteriorMode() has been called ) the mode (most probable value) of the posterior is returned: \( \hat{\varepsilon} = \frac{passed + \alpha -1}{total + \alpha + \beta -2} \)
    • If the denominator is equal to 0, an efficiency of 0 is returned.
    • When \( passed + \alpha < 1 \) or \( total - passed + \beta < 1 \) the above formula for the mode is not valid. In these cases values the estimated efficiency is 0 or 1.
