import ROOT
Setup example fit¶
Create sum of two Gaussians pdf with factory
x = ROOT.RooRealVar("x", "x", -10, 10)
m = ROOT.RooRealVar("m", "m", 0, -10, 10)
s = ROOT.RooRealVar("s", "s", 2, 1, 50)
sig = ROOT.RooGaussian("sig", "sig", x, m, s)
m2 = ROOT.RooRealVar("m2", "m2", -1, -10, 10)
s2 = ROOT.RooRealVar("s2", "s2", 6, 1, 50)
bkg = ROOT.RooGaussian("bkg", "bkg", x, m2, s2)
fsig = ROOT.RooRealVar("fsig", "fsig", 0.33, 0, 1)
model = ROOT.RooAddPdf("model", "model", [sig, bkg], [fsig])
Create binned dataset
x.setBins(25)
d = model.generateBinned({x}, 1000)
Perform fit and save fit result
r = model.fitTo(d, Save=True)
Visualize fit error¶
Make plot frame
frame = x.frame(Bins=40, Title="P.d.f with visualized 1-sigma error band")
d.plotOn(frame)
Visualize 1-sigma error encoded in fit result 'r' as orange band using linear error propagation ROOT.This results in an error band that is by construction symmetric
The linear error is calculated as error(x) = Z F_a(x) Corr(a,a') F_a'(x)
where F_a(x) = [ f(x,a+da) - f(x,a-da) ] / 2,
with f(x) = the plotted curve
'da' = error taken from the fit result
Corr(a,a') = the correlation matrix from the fit result
Z = requested significance 'Z sigma band'
The linear method is fast (required 2*N evaluations of the curve, N is the number of parameters), but may not be accurate in the presence of strong correlations (~>0.9) and at Z>2 due to linear and Gaussian approximations made
model.plotOn(frame, VisualizeError=(r, 1), FillColor="kOrange")
Calculate error using sampling method and visualize as dashed red line.
In self method a number of curves is calculated with variations of the parameter values, sampled from a multi-variate Gaussian pdf that is constructed from the fit results covariance matrix. The error(x) is determined by calculating a central interval that capture N% of the variations for each valye of x, N% is controlled by Z (i.e. Z=1 gives N=68%). The number of sampling curves is chosen to be such that at least 100 curves are expected to be outside the N% interval, is minimally 100 (e.g. Z=1.Ncurve=356, Z=2.Ncurve=2156)) Intervals from the sampling method can be asymmetric, and may perform better in the presence of strong correlations, may take (much) longer to calculate
model.plotOn(frame, VisualizeError=(r, 1, False), DrawOption="L", LineWidth=2, LineColor="r")
Perform the same type of error visualization on the background component only. The VisualizeError() option can generally applied to any kind of plot (components, asymmetries, etc..)
model.plotOn(frame, VisualizeError=(r, 1), FillColor="kOrange", Components="bkg")
model.plotOn(
frame,
VisualizeError=(r, 1, False),
DrawOption="L",
LineWidth=2,
LineColor="r",
Components="bkg",
LineStyle="--",
)
Overlay central value
model.plotOn(frame)
model.plotOn(frame, Components="bkg", LineStyle="--")
d.plotOn(frame)
frame.SetMinimum(0)
Visualize partial fit error¶
Make plot frame
frame2 = x.frame(Bins=40, Title="Visualization of 2-sigma partial error from (m,m2)")
Visualize partial error. For partial error visualization the covariance matrix is first reduced as follows ___ -1 Vred = V22 = V11 - V12 V22 V21
Where V11,V12,V21, represent a block decomposition of the covariance matrix into observables that are propagated (labeled by index '1') and that are not propagated (labeled by index '2'), V22bar is the Shur complement of V22, as shown above
(Note that Vred is not a simple sub-matrix of V)
Propagate partial error due to shape parameters (m,m2) using linear and sampling method
model.plotOn(frame2, VisualizeError=(r, {m, m2}, 2), FillColor="c")
model.plotOn(frame2, Components="bkg", VisualizeError=(r, {m, m2}, 2), FillColor="c")
model.plotOn(frame2)
model.plotOn(frame2, Components="bkg", LineStyle="--")
frame2.SetMinimum(0)
Make plot frame
frame3 = x.frame(Bins=40, Title="Visualization of 2-sigma partial error from (s,s2)")
Propagate partial error due to yield parameter using linear and sampling method
model.plotOn(frame3, VisualizeError=(r, {s, s2}, 2), FillColor="g")
model.plotOn(frame3, Components="bkg", VisualizeError=(r, {fsig}, 2), FillColor="g")
model.plotOn(frame3)
model.plotOn(frame3, Components="bkg", LineStyle="--")
frame3.SetMinimum(0)
Make plot frame
frame4 = x.frame(Bins=40, Title="Visualization of 2-sigma partial error from fsig")
Propagate partial error due to yield parameter using linear and sampling method
model.plotOn(frame4, VisualizeError=(r, {fsig}, 2), FillColor="m")
model.plotOn(frame4, Components="bkg", VisualizeError=(r, {fsig}, 2), FillColor="m")
model.plotOn(frame4)
model.plotOn(frame4, Components="bkg", LineStyle="--")
frame4.SetMinimum(0)
