RooMCStudy Class Reference

RooMCStudy is a helper class to facilitate Monte Carlo studies such as 'goodness-of-fit' studies, that involve fitting a PDF to multiple toy Monte Carlo sets.

These may be generated from either same PDF or from a different PDF with similar parameters.

Given a fit and a generator PDF (they might be identical), RooMCStudy can produce toyMC samples and/or fit these. It accumulates the post-fit parameters of each iteration in a dataset. These can be retrieved using fitParams() or fitParDataSet(). This dataset additionally contains the variables

  • NLL: The value of the negative log-likelihood for each run.
  • ngen: The number of events generated for each run.

Additional plotting routines simplify the task of plotting the distribution of the minimized likelihood, the fitted parameter values, fitted error and pull distribution.

RooMCStudy provides the option to insert add-in modules that modify the generate-and-fit cycle and allow to perform extra steps in the cycle. Output of these modules can be stored alongside the fit results in the aggregate results dataset. These study modules should derive from the class RooAbsMCStudyModule.

Parameters
[in]modelThe PDF to be studied
[in]observablesThe variables of the PDF to be considered observables
[in]argXArguments from the table below
Optional arguments
Silence() Suppress all RooFit messages during running below PROGRESS level
FitModel(const RooAbsPdf&) The PDF for fitting if it is different from the PDF for generating.
ConditionalObservables(const RooArgSet& set) The set of observables that the PDF should not be normalized over
Binned(Bool_t flag) Bin the dataset before fitting it. Speeds up fitting of large data samples
FitOptions(const char*) Classic fit options, provided for backward compatibility
FitOptions(....) Options to be used for fitting. All named arguments inside FitOptions() are passed to RooAbsPdf::fitTo(). Save() is especially interesting to be able to retrieve fit results of each run using fitResult().
Verbose(Bool_t flag) Activate informational messages in event generation phase
Extended(Bool_t flag) Determine number of events for each sample anew from a Poisson distribution
Constrain(const RooArgSet& pars) Apply internal constraints on given parameters in fit and sample constrained parameter values from constraint p.d.f for each toy.
ExternalConstraints(const RooArgSet& ) Apply internal constraints on given parameters in fit and sample constrained parameter values from constraint p.d.f for each toy.
ProtoData(const RooDataSet&, Bool_t randOrder) Prototype data for the event generation. If the randOrder flag is set, the order of the dataset will be re-randomized for each generation cycle to protect against systematic biases if the number of generated events does not exactly match the number of events in the prototype dataset at the cost of reduced precision with mu equal to the specified number of events

Member Function Documentation

◆ addFitResult()

Bool_t RooMCStudy::addFitResult ( const RooFitResult fr)

Utility function to add fit result from external fit to this RooMCStudy and process its results through the standard RooMCStudy statistics gathering tools.

This function allows users to run the toy MC generation and/or fitting in a distributed way and to collect and analyze the results in a RooMCStudy as if they were run locally.

This method is only functional if this RooMCStudy object is cleanm, i.e. it was not used to generate and/or fit any samples.

Definition at line 879 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ addModule()

void RooMCStudy::addModule ( RooAbsMCStudyModule module)

Insert given RooMCStudy add-on module to the processing chain of this MCStudy object.

Definition at line 444 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ calcPulls()

void RooMCStudy::calcPulls ( )
protected

Calculate the pulls for all fit parameters in the fit results data set, and add them to that dataset.

Definition at line 913 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ doFit()

RooFitResult * RooMCStudy::doFit ( RooAbsData genSample)
protected

Internal function. Performs actual fit according to specifications.

Definition at line 747 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ fit() [1/2]

Bool_t RooMCStudy::fit ( Int_t  nSamples,
const char *  asciiFilePat 
)

Fit 'nSamples' datasets, which are read from ASCII files.

The ascii file pattern, which is a template for snprintf, should look something like "data/toymc_%04d.dat" and should contain one integer field that encodes the sample serial number.

Definition at line 698 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ fit() [2/2]

Bool_t RooMCStudy::fit ( Int_t  nSamples,
TList dataSetList 
)

Fit 'nSamples' datasets, as supplied in 'dataSetList'.

Definition at line 713 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ fitParams()

const RooArgSet * RooMCStudy::fitParams ( Int_t  sampleNum) const

Return an argset with the fit parameters for the given sample number.

NB: The fit parameters are only stored for successfull fits, thus the maximum sampleNum can be less that the number of generated samples and if so, the indeces will be out of synch with genData() and fitResult()

Definition at line 1000 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ fitParDataSet()

const RooDataSet & RooMCStudy::fitParDataSet ( )

Return a RooDataSet containing the post-fit parameters of each toy cycle.

This dataset also contains any additional output that was generated by study modules that were added to this RooMCStudy. By default, the two following variables are added (apart from fit parameters):

  • NLL: The value of the negative log-likelihood for each run.
  • ngen: Number of events generated for each run.

Definition at line 980 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ fitResult()

const RooFitResult * RooMCStudy::fitResult ( Int_t  sampleNum) const

Return the RooFitResult of the fit with the given run number.

Note
Fit results are not saved by default. This requires passing FitOptions(Save(), ...) to the constructor.

Definition at line 1018 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ fitSample()

Bool_t RooMCStudy::fitSample ( RooAbsData genSample)
protected

Internal method.

Fit given dataset with fit model. If fit converges (TMinuit status code zero) The fit results are appended to the fit results dataset

If the fit option "r" is supplied, the RooFitResult objects will always be saved, regardless of the fit status. RooFitResults objects can be retrieved later via fitResult().

Definition at line 825 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ genData()

RooAbsData * RooMCStudy::genData ( Int_t  sampleNum) const

Return the given generated dataset.

This method will only return datasets if during the run cycle it was indicated that generator data should be saved.

Definition at line 1043 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ generate()

Bool_t RooMCStudy::generate ( Int_t  nSamples,
Int_t  nEvtPerSample = 0,
Bool_t  keepGenData = kFALSE,
const char *  asciiFilePat = 0 
)

Generate 'nSamples' samples of 'nEvtPerSample' events.

If keepGenData is set, all generated data sets will be kept in memory and can be accessed later via genData().

Data sets will be written out in ascii form if the pattern string is supplied. The pattern, which is a template for snprintf, should look something like "data/toymc_%04d.dat" and should contain one integer field that encodes the sample serial number.

Definition at line 681 of file RooMCStudy.cxx.

◆ generateAndFit()

Bool_t RooMCStudy::generateAndFit ( Int_t  nSamples,
Int_t  nEvtPerSample = 0,
Bool_t  keepGenData = kFALSE,
const char *  asciiFilePat = 0 
)

Generate and fit 'nSamples' samples of 'nEvtPerSample' events.

If keepGenData is set, all generated data sets will be kept in memory and can be accessed later via genData().

Data sets will be written out in ascii form if the pattern string is supplied. The pattern, which is a template for snprintf, should look something like "data/toymc_%04d.dat" and should contain one integer field that encodes the sample serial number.

const RooCmdArg arg8 = RooCmdArg::none() 
)

Plot the distribution of pull values for the specified parameter on a newly created frame.

If asymmetric errors are calculated in the fit (by MINOS) those will be used in the pull calculation.

If the parameters of the models for generation and fit differ, simple heuristics are used to find the corresponding parameters:

  • Parameters have the same name: They will be used to compute pulls.
  • Parameters have different names: The position of the fit parameter in the set of fit parameters will be computed. The parameter at the same position in the set of generator parameters will be used.

Further options:

Arguments Effect
FrameRange(double lo, double hi) Set range of frame to given specification
FrameBins(int bins) Set default number of bins of frame to given number
Frame() Pass supplied named arguments to RooAbsRealLValue::frame() function. See there for list of allowed arguments
FitGauss(Bool_t flag) Add a gaussian fit to the frame

If no frame specifications are given, the AutoSymRange() feature will be used to set a default range. Any other named argument is passed to the RooAbsData::plotOn(). See that function for allowed options.

◆ plotPull() [2/2]

Double_t  lo = -3.0,
Double_t  hi = 3.0,
Int_t  nbins = 25,
Bool_t  fitGauss = kFALSE 
)

Create a RooPlot of the pull distribution for the given parameter.

The range lo-hi is plotted in nbins. If fitGauss is set, an unbinned ML fit of the distribution to a Gaussian p.d.f is performed. The fit result is overlaid on the returned RooPlot and a box with the fitted mean and sigma is added.

If the parameters of the models for generation and fit differ, simple heuristics are used to find the corresponding parameters:

  • Parameters have the same name: They will be used to compute pulls.
  • Parameters have different names: The position of the fit parameter in the set of fit parameters will be computed. The parameter at the same position in the set of generator parameters will be used.
