RooStats::PdfProposal Class Reference

PdfProposal is a concrete implementation of the ProposalFunction interface.

It proposes points across the parameter space in the distribution of the given PDF.

To make Propose(xPrime, x) dependent on x, configure with PdfProposal::AddMapping(varToUpdate, valueToUse). For example, suppose we have:

// our parameter
RooRealVar p("p", "p", 5, 0, 10);
// create mean and sigma for gaussian proposal function
RooRealVar meanP("meanP", "meanP", 0, 10);
RooRealVar sigma("sigma", "sigma", 1, 0, 5);
RooGaussian pGaussian("pGaussian", "pGaussian", p, meanP, sigma);
// configure proposal function
PdfProposal pdfProposal(pGaussian);
pdfProposal.AddMapping(meanP, p); // each call of Propose(xPrime, x), meanP in
// the proposal function will be updated to
// the value of p in x. this will center the
// proposal function about x's p when
// proposing for xPrime
// To improve performance, PdfProposal has the ability to cache a specified
// number of proposals. If you don't call this function, the default cache size
// is 1, which can be slow.
pdfProposal.SetCacheSize(desiredCacheSize);

RooRealVar represents a variable that can be changed from the outside.

PdfProposal()
By default, PdfProposal does NOT own the PDF that serves as the proposal density function.
Definition: PdfProposal.cxx:75
const Double_t sigma

PdfProposal currently uses a fixed cache size. Adaptive caching methods are in the works for future versions.
