Detailed Description

Namespace for new RooFit test statistic calculation.

RooFit::TestStatistics contains a major refactoring of the RooAbsTestStatistic-RooAbsOptTestStatistic-RooNLLVar inheritance tree into:

  1. statistics-based classes on the one hand;
  2. calculation/evaluation/optimization based classes on the other hand.

The likelihood is the central unit on the statistics side. The RooAbsL class is implemented for four kinds of likelihoods: binned, unbinned, "subsidiary" (an optimization for numerical stability that gathers components like global observables) and "sum" (over multiple components of the other types). These classes provide ways to compute their components in parallelizable chunks that can be used by the calculator classes as they see fit.

On top of the likelihood classes, we also provide for convenience a likelihood builder buildLikelihood, as a free function in the namespace. This function analyzes the pdf and automatically constructs the proper likelihood, built up from the available RooAbsL subclasses.

The calculator "Wrapper" classes are abstract interfaces. These can be implemented for different kinds of algorithms, or with different kinds of optimization "back-ends" in mind. In an upcoming PR, we will introduce the fork-based multi-processing implementation based on RooFit::MultiProcess. Other possible implementations could use the GPU or external tools like TensorFlow.

The coupling of all these classes to RooMinimizer is made via the MinuitFcnGrad class, which owns the Wrappers that calculate the likelihood components.

◆ OffsettingMode

Previously, offsetting was only implemented for RooNLLVar components of a likelihood, not for RooConstraintSum terms.

To emulate this behavior, use OffsettingMode::legacy. To also offset the RooSubsidiaryL component (equivalent of RooConstraintSum) of RooSumL likelihoods, use OffsettingMode::full.
