TH1 Class Reference

The TH1 histogram class.

The Histogram classes

ROOT supports the following histogram types:

• 1-D histograms:
  • TH1C : histograms with one byte per channel. Maximum bin content = 127
  • TH1S : histograms with one short per channel. Maximum bin content = 32767
  • TH1I : histograms with one int per channel. Maximum bin content = 2147483647
  • TH1F : histograms with one float per channel. Maximum precision 7 digits
  • TH1D : histograms with one double per channel. Maximum precision 14 digits
• 2-D histograms:
  • TH2C : histograms with one byte per channel. Maximum bin content = 127
  • TH2S : histograms with one short per channel. Maximum bin content = 32767
  • TH2I : histograms with one int per channel. Maximum bin content = 2147483647
  • TH2F : histograms with one float per channel. Maximum precision 7 digits
  • TH2D : histograms with one double per channel. Maximum precision 14 digits
• 3-D histograms:
  • TH3C : histograms with one byte per channel. Maximum bin content = 127
  • TH3S : histograms with one short per channel. Maximum bin content = 32767
  • TH3I : histograms with one int per channel. Maximum bin content = 2147483647
  • TH3F : histograms with one float per channel. Maximum precision 7 digits
  • TH3D : histograms with one double per channel. Maximum precision 14 digits
• Profile histograms: See classes TProfile, TProfile2D and TProfile3D. Profile histograms are used to display the mean value of Y and its standard deviation for each bin in X. Profile histograms are in many cases an elegant replacement of two-dimensional histograms : the inter-relation of two measured quantities X and Y can always be visualized by a two-dimensional histogram or scatter-plot; If Y is an unknown (but single-valued) approximate function of X, this function is displayed by a profile histogram with much better precision than by a scatter-plot.

All histogram classes are derived from the base class TH1

The TH*C classes also inherit from the array class TArrayC.
The TH*S classes also inherit from the array class TArrayS.
The TH*I classes also inherit from the array class TArrayI.
The TH*F classes also inherit from the array class TArrayF.
The TH*D classes also inherit from the array class TArrayD.

Creating histograms

Histograms are created by invoking one of the constructors, e.g.

TH1F *h1 = new TH1F("h1", "h1 title", 100, 0, 4.4);
TH2F *h2 = new TH2F("h2", "h2 title", 40, 0, 4, 30, -3, 3);

Histograms may also be created by:

• calling the Clone function, see below
• making a projection from a 2-D or 3-D histogram, see below
• reading an histogram from a file

When an histogram is created, a reference to it is automatically added to the list of in-memory objects for the current file or directory. This default behaviour can be changed by:

h->SetDirectory(0);          for the current histogram h
TH1::AddDirectory(kFALSE);   sets a global switch disabling the reference

When the histogram is deleted, the reference to it is removed from the list of objects in memory. When a file is closed, all histograms in memory associated with this file are automatically deleted.

Fix or variable bin size

All histogram types support either fix or variable bin sizes. 2-D histograms may have fix size bins along X and variable size bins along Y or vice-versa. The functions to fill, manipulate, draw or access histograms are identical in both cases.

Each histogram always contains 3 objects TAxis: fXaxis, fYaxis and fZaxis o access the axis parameters, do:

TAxis *xaxis = h->GetXaxis(); etc.
Double_t binCenter = xaxis->GetBinCenter(bin), etc.

See class TAxis for a description of all the access functions. The axis range is always stored internally in double precision.

Convention for numbering bins

For all histogram types: nbins, xlow, xup

bin = 0;       underflow bin
bin = 1;       first bin with low-edge xlow INCLUDED
bin = nbins;   last bin with upper-edge xup EXCLUDED
bin = nbins+1; overflow bin

In case of 2-D or 3-D histograms, a "global bin" number is defined. For example, assuming a 3-D histogram with (binx, biny, binz), the function

Int_t gbin = h->GetBin(binx, biny, binz);

returns a global/linearized gbin number. This global gbin is useful to access the bin content/error information independently of the dimension. Note that to access the information other than bin content and errors one should use the TAxis object directly with e.g.:

Double_t xcenter = h3->GetZaxis()->GetBinCenter(27);

returns the center along z of bin number 27 (not the global bin) in the 3-D histogram h3.

Alphanumeric Bin Labels

By default, an histogram axis is drawn with its numeric bin labels. One can specify alphanumeric labels instead with:

• call TAxis::SetBinLabel(bin, label); This can always be done before or after filling. When the histogram is drawn, bin labels will be automatically drawn. See examples labels1.C and labels2.C
• call to a Fill function with one of the arguments being a string, e.g.

  hist1->Fill(somename, weight);
  hist2->Fill(x, somename, weight);
  hist2->Fill(somename, y, weight);
  hist2->Fill(somenamex, somenamey, weight);

  See examples hlabels1.C and hlabels2.C
• via TTree::Draw. see for example cernstaff.C

  tree.Draw("Nation::Division");

  where "Nation" and "Division" are two branches of a Tree.

When using the options 2 or 3 above, the labels are automatically added to the list (THashList) of labels for a given axis. By default, an axis is drawn with the order of bins corresponding to the filling sequence. It is possible to reorder the axis

• alphabetically
• by increasing or decreasing values

The reordering can be triggered via the TAxis context menu by selecting the menu item "LabelsOption" or by calling directly TH1::LabelsOption(option, axis) where

• axis may be "X", "Y" or "Z"
• option may be:
  • "a" sort by alphabetic order
  • ">" sort by decreasing values
  • "<" sort by increasing values
  • "h" draw labels horizontal
  • "v" draw labels vertical
  • "u" draw labels up (end of label right adjusted)
  • "d" draw labels down (start of label left adjusted)

When using the option 2 above, new labels are added by doubling the current number of bins in case one label does not exist yet. When the Filling is terminated, it is possible to trim the number of bins to match the number of active labels by calling

TH1::LabelsDeflate(axis) with axis = "X", "Y" or "Z"

This operation is automatic when using TTree::Draw. Once bin labels have been created, they become persistent if the histogram is written to a file or when generating the C++ code via SavePrimitive.

Histograms with automatic bins

When an histogram is created with an axis lower limit greater or equal to its upper limit, the SetBuffer is automatically called with an argument fBufferSize equal to fgBufferSize (default value=1000). fgBufferSize may be reset via the static function TH1::SetDefaultBufferSize. The axis limits will be automatically computed when the buffer will be full or when the function BufferEmpty is called.

Filling histograms

An histogram is typically filled with statements like:

h1->Fill(x);
h1->Fill(x, w); //fill with weight
h2->Fill(x, y)
h2->Fill(x, y, w)
h3->Fill(x, y, z)
h3->Fill(x, y, z, w)

or via one of the Fill functions accepting names described above. The Fill functions compute the bin number corresponding to the given x, y or z argument and increment this bin by the given weight. The Fill functions return the bin number for 1-D histograms or global bin number for 2-D and 3-D histograms. If TH1::Sumw2 has been called before filling, the sum of squares of weights is also stored. One can also increment directly a bin number via TH1::AddBinContent or replace the existing content via TH1::SetBinContent. To access the bin content of a given bin, do:

Double_t binContent = h->GetBinContent(bin);

By default, the bin number is computed using the current axis ranges. If the automatic binning option has been set via

h->SetCanExtend(kAllAxes);

then, the Fill Function will automatically extend the axis range to accomodate the new value specified in the Fill argument. The method used is to double the bin size until the new value fits in the range, merging bins two by two. This automatic binning options is extensively used by the TTree::Draw function when histogramming Tree variables with an unknown range. This automatic binning option is supported for 1-D, 2-D and 3-D histograms.

During filling, some statistics parameters are incremented to compute the mean value and Root Mean Square with the maximum precision.

In case of histograms of type TH1C, TH1S, TH2C, TH2S, TH3C, TH3S a check is made that the bin contents do not exceed the maximum positive capacity (127 or 32767). Histograms of all types may have positive or/and negative bin contents.

Rebinning

At any time, an histogram can be rebinned via TH1::Rebin. This function returns a new histogram with the rebinned contents. If bin errors were stored, they are recomputed during the rebinning.

Associated errors

By default, for each bin, the sum of weights is computed at fill time. One can also call TH1::Sumw2 to force the storage and computation of the sum of the square of weights per bin. If Sumw2 has been called, the error per bin is computed as the sqrt(sum of squares of weights), otherwise the error is set equal to the sqrt(bin content). To return the error for a given bin number, do:

Double_t error = h->GetBinError(bin);

Associated functions

One or more object (typically a TF1*) can be added to the list of functions (fFunctions) associated to each histogram. When TH1::Fit is invoked, the fitted function is added to this list. Given an histogram h, one can retrieve an associated function with:

TF1 *myfunc = h->GetFunction("myfunc");

Operations on histograms

Many types of operations are supported on histograms or between histograms

• Addition of an histogram to the current histogram.
• Additions of two histograms with coefficients and storage into the current histogram.
• Multiplications and Divisions are supported in the same way as additions.
• The Add, Divide and Multiply functions also exist to add, divide or multiply an histogram by a function.

If an histogram has associated error bars (TH1::Sumw2 has been called), the resulting error bars are also computed assuming independent histograms. In case of divisions, Binomial errors are also supported. One can mark a histogram to be an "average" histogram by setting its bit kIsAverage via myhist.SetBit(TH1::kIsAverage); When adding (see TH1::Add) average histograms, the histograms are averaged and not summed.

Fitting histograms

Histograms (1-D, 2-D, 3-D and Profiles) can be fitted with a user specified function via TH1::Fit. When an histogram is fitted, the resulting function with its parameters is added to the list of functions of this histogram. If the histogram is made persistent, the list of associated functions is also persistent. Given a pointer (see above) to an associated function myfunc, one can retrieve the function/fit parameters with calls such as:

Double_t chi2 = myfunc->GetChisquare();
Double_t par0 = myfunc->GetParameter(0); value of 1st parameter
Double_t err0 = myfunc->GetParError(0);  error on first parameter

Projections of histograms

One can:

• make a 1-D projection of a 2-D histogram or Profile see functions TH2::ProjectionX,Y, TH2::ProfileX,Y, TProfile::ProjectionX
• make a 1-D, 2-D or profile out of a 3-D histogram see functions TH3::ProjectionZ, TH3::Project3D.

One can fit these projections via:

TH2::FitSlicesX,Y, TH3::FitSlicesZ.

Random Numbers and histograms

TH1::FillRandom can be used to randomly fill an histogram using the contents of an existing TF1 function or another TH1 histogram (for all dimensions). For example the following two statements create and fill an histogram 10000 times with a default gaussian distribution of mean 0 and sigma 1:

TH1F h1("h1", "histo from a gaussian", 100, -3, 3);
h1.FillRandom("gaus", 10000);

TH1::GetRandom can be used to return a random number distributed according the contents of an histogram.

Making a copy of an histogram

Like for any other ROOT object derived from TObject, one can use the Clone() function. This makes an identical copy of the original histogram including all associated errors and functions, e.g.:

TH1F *hnew = (TH1F*)h->Clone("hnew");

Normalizing histograms

One can scale an histogram such that the bins integral is equal to the normalization parameter via TH1::Scale(Double_t norm), where norm is the desired normalization divided by the integral of the histogram.

Drawing histograms

Histograms are drawn via the THistPainter class. Each histogram has a pointer to its own painter (to be usable in a multithreaded program). Many drawing options are supported. See THistPainter::Paint() for more details.

The same histogram can be drawn with different options in different pads. When an histogram drawn in a pad is deleted, the histogram is automatically removed from the pad or pads where it was drawn. If an histogram is drawn in a pad, then filled again, the new status of the histogram will be automatically shown in the pad next time the pad is updated. One does not need to redraw the histogram. To draw the current version of an histogram in a pad, one can use

h->DrawCopy();

This makes a clone (see Clone below) of the histogram. Once the clone is drawn, the original histogram may be modified or deleted without affecting the aspect of the clone.

One can use TH1::SetMaximum() and TH1::SetMinimum() to force a particular value for the maximum or the minimum scale on the plot. (For 1-D histograms this means the y-axis, while for 2-D histograms these functions affect the z-axis).

TH1::UseCurrentStyle() can be used to change all histogram graphics attributes to correspond to the current selected style. This function must be called for each histogram. In case one reads and draws many histograms from a file, one can force the histograms to inherit automatically the current graphics style by calling before gROOT->ForceStyle().

Setting Drawing histogram contour levels (2-D hists only)

By default contours are automatically generated at equidistant intervals. A default value of 20 levels is used. This can be modified via TH1::SetContour() or TH1::SetContourLevel(). the contours level info is used by the drawing options "cont", "surf", and "lego".

Setting histogram graphics attributes

The histogram classes inherit from the attribute classes: TAttLine, TAttFill, and TAttMarker. See the member functions of these classes for the list of options.

Giving titles to the X, Y and Z axis

h->GetXaxis()->SetTitle("X axis title");
h->GetYaxis()->SetTitle("Y axis title");

The histogram title and the axis titles can be any TLatex string. The titles are part of the persistent histogram. It is also possible to specify the histogram title and the axis titles at creation time. These titles can be given in the "title" parameter. They must be separated by ";":

TH1F* h=new TH1F("h", "Histogram title;X Axis;Y Axis;Z Axis", 100, 0, 1);

Any title can be omitted:

TH1F* h=new TH1F("h", "Histogram title;;Y Axis", 100, 0, 1);
TH1F* h=new TH1F("h", ";;Y Axis", 100, 0, 1);

The method SetTitle has the same syntax:

h->SetTitle("Histogram title;Another X title Axis");

Saving/Reading histograms to/from a ROOT file

The following statements create a ROOT file and store an histogram on the file. Because TH1 derives from TNamed, the key identifier on the file is the histogram name:

TFile f("histos.root", "new");
TH1F h1("hgaus", "histo from a gaussian", 100, -3, 3);
h1.FillRandom("gaus", 10000);
h1->Write();

To read this histogram in another Root session, do:

TFile f("histos.root");
TH1F *h = (TH1F*)f.Get("hgaus");

One can save all histograms in memory to the file by:

file->Write();

Miscellaneous operations

TH1::KolmogorovTest(): statistical test of compatibility in shape
                     between two histograms
TH1::Smooth() smooths the bin contents of a 1-d histogram
TH1::Integral() returns the integral of bin contents in a given bin range
TH1::GetMean(int axis) returns the mean value along axis
TH1::GetStdDev(int axis)  returns the sigma distribution along axis
TH1::GetEntries() returns the number of entries

Member Function Documentation

Add() [1/3]

Bool_t TH1::Add ( TF1 *  f1, Double_t  c1 = 1, Option_t *  option = ""  )

virtual

Performs the operation: this = this + c1*f1 if errors are defined (see TH1::Sumw2), errors are also recalculated.

By default, the function is computed at the centre of the bin. if option "I" is specified (1-d histogram only), the integral of the function in each bin is used instead of the value of the function at the centre of the bin.

Only bins inside the function range are recomputed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to use the errors of this histogram later you should call Sumw2 before making this operation. This is particularly important if you fit the histogram after TH1::Add

The function return kFALSE if the Add operation failed

Reimplemented in TProfile3D, TProfile2D, TProfile, and TH2Poly.

Definition at line 770 of file TH1.cxx.

Add() [2/3]

Bool_t TH1::Add ( const TH1 *  h1, Double_t  c1 = 1  )

virtual

Performs the operation: this = this + c1*h1 If errors are defined (see TH1::Sumw2), errors are also recalculated.

Note that if h1 has Sumw2 set, Sumw2 is automatically called for this if not already set.

Note also that adding histogram with labels is not supported, histogram will be added merging them by bin number independently of the labels. For adding histogram with labels one should use TH1::Merge

SPECIAL CASE (Average/Efficiency histograms) For histograms representing averages or efficiencies, one should compute the average of the two histograms and not the sum. One can mark a histogram to be an average histogram by setting its bit kIsAverage with myhist.SetBit(TH1::kIsAverage); Note that the two histograms must have their kIsAverage bit set

IMPORTANT NOTE1: If you intend to use the errors of this histogram later you should call Sumw2 before making this operation. This is particularly important if you fit the histogram after TH1::Add

IMPORTANT NOTE2: if h1 has a normalisation factor, the normalisation factor is used , ie this = this + c1*factor*h1 Use the other TH1::Add function if you do not want this feature

The function return kFALSE if the Add operation failed

Reimplemented in TProfile3D, TProfile2D, TProfile, and TH2Poly.

Definition at line 855 of file TH1.cxx.

Add() [3/3]

Bool_t TH1::Add ( const TH1 *  h1, const TH1 *  h2, Double_t  c1 = 1, Double_t  c2 = 1  )

virtual

Replace contents of this histogram by the addition of h1 and h2.

this = c1*h1 + c2*h2 if errors are defined (see TH1::Sumw2), errors are also recalculated

Note that if h1 or h2 have Sumw2 set, Sumw2 is automatically called for this if not already set.

Note also that adding histogram with labels is not supported, histogram will be added merging them by bin number independently of the labels. For adding histogram ith labels one should use TH1::Merge

SPECIAL CASE (Average/Efficiency histograms) For histograms representing averages or efficiencies, one should compute the average of the two histograms and not the sum. One can mark a histogram to be an average histogram by setting its bit kIsAverage with myhist.SetBit(TH1::kIsAverage); Note that the two histograms must have their kIsAverage bit set

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to use the errors of this histogram later you should call Sumw2 before making this operation. This is particularly important if you fit the histogram after TH1::Add

ANOTHER SPECIAL CASE : h1 = h2 and c2 < 0 do a scaling this = c1 * h1 / (bin Volume)

Function: Returns p-value. Other return values are specified by the 3rd parameter

Parameters

[in]	h2	the second histogram
[in]	option	"UU" = experiment experiment comparison (unweighted-unweighted) "UW" = experiment MC comparison (unweighted-weighted). Note that the first histogram should be unweighted "WW" = MC MC comparison (weighted-weighted) "NORM" = to be used when one or both of the histograms is scaled but the histogram originally was unweighted by default underflows and overflows are not included: "OF" = overflows included "UF" = underflows included "P" = print chi2, ndf, p_value, igood "CHI2" = returns chi2 instead of p-value "CHI2/NDF" = returns \( \chi^{2} \)/ndf

The current implementation is based on the papers \( \chi^{2} \) test for comparison of weighted and unweighted histograms" in Proceedings of PHYSTAT05 and "Comparison weighted and unweighted histograms", arXiv:physics/0605123 by N.Gagunashvili. This function has been implemented by Daniel Haertl in August 2006.

Introduction:

A frequently used technique in data analysis is the comparison of histograms. First suggested by Pearson [1] the \( \chi^{2} \) test of homogeneity is used widely for comparing usual (unweighted) histograms. This paper describes the implementation modified \( \chi^{2} \) tests for comparison of weighted and unweighted histograms and two weighted histograms [2] as well as usual Pearson's \( \chi^{2} \) test for comparison two usual (unweighted) histograms.

Overview:

Comparison of two histograms expect hypotheses that two histograms represent identical distributions. To make a decision p-value should be calculated. The hypotheses of identity is rejected if the p-value is lower then some significance level. Traditionally significance levels 0.1, 0.05 and 0.01 are used. The comparison procedure should include an analysis of the residuals which is often helpful in identifying the bins of histograms responsible for a significant overall \( \chi^{2} \) value. Residuals are the difference between bin contents and expected bin contents. Most convenient for analysis are the normalized residuals. If hypotheses of identity are valid then normalized residuals are approximately independent and identically distributed random variables having N(0,1) distribution. Analysis of residuals expect test of above mentioned properties of residuals. Notice that indirectly the analysis of residuals increase the power of \( \chi^{2} \) test.

Methods of comparison:

\( \chi^{2} \) test for comparison two (unweighted) histograms: Let us consider two histograms with the same binning and the number of bins equal to r. Let us denote the number of events in the ith bin in the first histogram as ni and as mi in the second one. The total number of events in the first histogram is equal to:

\[ N = \sum_{i=1}^{r} n_{i} \]

and

\[ M = \sum_{i=1}^{r} m_{i} \]

in the second histogram. The hypothesis of identity (homogeneity) [3] is that the two histograms represent random values with identical distributions. It is equivalent that there exist r constants p1,...,pr, such that

\[ \sum_{i=1}^{r} p_{i}=1 \]

and the probability of belonging to the ith bin for some measured value in both experiments is equal to pi. The number of events in the ith bin is a random variable with a distribution approximated by a Poisson probability distribution

\[ \frac{e^{-Np_{i}}(Np_{i})^{n_{i}}}{n_{i}!} \]

for the first histogram and with distribution

\[ \frac{e^{-Mp_{i}}(Mp_{i})^{m_{i}}}{m_{i}!} \]

for the second histogram. If the hypothesis of homogeneity is valid, then the maximum likelihood estimator of pi, i=1,...,r, is

\[ \hat{p}_{i}= \frac{n_{i}+m_{i}}{N+M} \]

and then

\[ X^{2} = \sum_{i=1}^{r}\frac{(n_{i}-N\hat{p}_{i})^{2}}{N\hat{p}_{i}} + \sum_{i=1}^{r}\frac{(m_{i}-M\hat{p}_{i})^{2}}{M\hat{p}_{i}} =\frac{1}{MN} \sum_{i=1}^{r}\frac{(Mn_{i}-Nm_{i})^{2}}{n_{i}+m_{i}} \]

has approximately a \( \chi^{2}_{(r-1)} \) distribution [3]. The comparison procedure can include an analysis of the residuals which is often helpful in identifying the bins of histograms responsible for a significant overall \( \chi^{2} \) value. Most convenient for analysis are the adjusted (normalized) residuals [4]

\[ r_{i} = \frac{n_{i}-N\hat{p}_{i}}{\sqrt{N\hat{p}_{i}}\sqrt{(1-N/(N+M))(1-(n_{i}+m_{i})/(N+M))}} \]

If hypotheses of homogeneity are valid then residuals ri are approximately independent and identically distributed random variables having N(0,1) distribution. The application of the \( \chi^{2} \) test has restrictions related to the value of the expected frequencies Npi, Mpi, i=1,...,r. A conservative rule formulated in [5] is that all the expectations must be 1 or greater for both histograms. In practical cases when expected frequencies are not known the estimated expected frequencies \( M\hat{p}_{i}, N\hat{p}_{i}, i=1,...,r \) can be used.

Unweighted and weighted histograms comparison:

A simple modification of the ideas described above can be used for the comparison of the usual (unweighted) and weighted histograms. Let us denote the number of events in the ith bin in the unweighted histogram as ni and the common weight of events in the ith bin of the weighted histogram as wi. The total number of events in the unweighted histogram is equal to

\[ N = \sum_{i=1}^{r} n_{i} \]

and the total weight of events in the weighted histogram is equal to

\[ W = \sum_{i=1}^{r} w_{i} \]

Let us formulate the hypothesis of identity of an unweighted histogram to a weighted histogram so that there exist r constants p1,...,pr, such that

\[ \sum_{i=1}^{r} p_{i} = 1 \]

for the unweighted histogram. The weight wi is a random variable with a distribution approximated by the normal probability distribution \( N(Wp_{i},\sigma_{i}^{2}) \) where \( \sigma_{i}^{2} \) is the variance of the weight wi. If we replace the variance \( \sigma_{i}^{2} \) with estimate \( s_{i}^{2} \) (sum of squares of weights of events in the ith bin) and the hypothesis of identity is valid, then the maximum likelihood estimator of pi,i=1,...,r, is

\[ \hat{p}_{i} = \frac{Ww_{i}-Ns_{i}^{2}+\sqrt{(Ww_{i}-Ns_{i}^{2})^{2}+4W^{2}s_{i}^{2}n_{i}}}{2W^{2}} \]

We may then use the test statistic

\[ X^{2} = \sum_{i=1}^{r} \frac{(n_{i}-N\hat{p}_{i})^{2}}{N\hat{p}_{i}} + \sum_{i=1}^{r} \frac{(w_{i}-W\hat{p}_{i})^{2}}{s_{i}^{2}} \]

and it has approximately a \( \sigma^{2}_{(r-1)} \) distribution [2]. This test, as well as the original one [3], has a restriction on the expected frequencies. The expected frequencies recommended for the weighted histogram is more than 25. The value of the minimal expected frequency can be decreased down to 10 for the case when the weights of the events are close to constant. In the case of a weighted histogram if the number of events is unknown, then we can apply this recommendation for the equivalent number of events as

\[ n_{i}^{equiv} = \frac{ w_{i}^{2} }{ s_{i}^{2} } \]

The minimal expected frequency for an unweighted histogram must be 1. Notice that any usual (unweighted) histogram can be considered as a weighted histogram with events that have constant weights equal to 1. The variance \( z_{i}^{2} \) of the difference between the weight wi and the estimated expectation value of the weight is approximately equal to:

\[ z_{i}^{2} = Var(w_{i}-W\hat{p}_{i}) = N\hat{p}_{i}(1-N\hat{p}_{i})\left(\frac{Ws_{i}^{2}}{\sqrt{(Ns_{i}^{2}-w_{i}W)^{2}+4W^{2}s_{i}^{2}n_{i}}}\right)^{2}+\frac{s_{i}^{2}}{4}\left(1+\frac{Ns_{i}^{2}-w_{i}W}{\sqrt{(Ns_{i}^{2}-w_{i}W)^{2}+4W^{2}s_{i}^{2}n_{i}}}\right)^{2} \]

The residuals

\[ r_{i} = \frac{w_{i}-W\hat{p}_{i}}{z_{i}} \]

have approximately a normal distribution with mean equal to 0 and standard deviation equal to 1.

Two weighted histograms comparison:

Let us denote the common weight of events of the ith bin in the first histogram as w1i and as w2i in the second one. The total weight of events in the first histogram is equal to

\[ W_{1} = \sum_{i=1}^{r} w_{1i} \]

and

\[ W_{2} = \sum_{i=1}^{r} w_{2i} \]

in the second histogram. Let us formulate the hypothesis of identity of weighted histograms so that there exist r constants p1,...,pr, such that

\[ \sum_{i=1}^{r} p_{i} = 1 \]

and also expectation value of weight w1i equal to W1pi and expectation value of weight w2i equal to W2pi. Weights in both the histograms are random variables with distributions which can be approximated by a normal probability distribution \( N(W_{1}p_{i},\sigma_{1i}^{2}) \) for the first histogram and by a distribution \( N(W_{2}p_{i},\sigma_{2i}^{2}) \) for the second. Here \( \sigma_{1i}^{2} \) and \( \sigma_{2i}^{2} \) are the variances of w1i and w2i with estimators \( s_{1i}^{2} \) and \( s_{2i}^{2} \) respectively. If the hypothesis of identity is valid, then the maximum likelihood and Least Square Method estimator of pi,i=1,...,r, is

\[ \hat{p}_{i} = \frac{w_{1i}W_{1}/s_{1i}^{2}+w_{2i}W_{2} /s_{2i}^{2}}{W_{1}^{2}/s_{1i}^{2}+W_{2}^{2}/s_{2i}^{2}} \]

We may then use the test statistic

\[ X^{2} = \sum_{i=1}^{r} \frac{(w_{1i}-W_{1}\hat{p}_{i})^{2}}{s_{1i}^{2}} + \sum_{i=1}^{r} \frac{(w_{2i}-W_{2}\hat{p}_{i})^{2}}{s_{2i}^{2}} = \sum_{i=1}^{r} \frac{(W_{1}w_{2i}-W_{2}w_{1i})^{2}}{W_{1}^{2}s_{2i}^{2}+W_{2}^{2}s_{1i}^{2}} \]

and it has approximately a \( \chi^{2}_{(r-1)} \) distribution [2]. The normalized or studentised residuals [6]

\[ r_{i} = \frac{w_{1i}-W_{1}\hat{p}_{i}}{s_{1i}\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{(1+W_{2}^{2}s_{1i}^{2}/W_{1}^{2}s_{2i}^{2})}}} \]

have approximately a normal distribution with mean equal to 0 and standard deviation 1. A recommended minimal expected frequency is equal to 10 for the proposed test.

Numerical examples:

The method described herein is now illustrated with an example. We take a distribution

\[ \phi(x) = \frac{2}{(x-10)^{2}+1} + \frac{1}{(x-14)^{2}+1} (1) \]

defined on the interval [4,16]. Events distributed according to the formula (1) are simulated to create the unweighted histogram. Uniformly distributed events are simulated for the weighted histogram with weights calculated by formula (1). Each histogram has the same number of bins: 20. Fig.1 shows the result of comparison of the unweighted histogram with 200 events (minimal expected frequency equal to one) and the weighted histogram with 500 events (minimal expected frequency equal to 25)

Fig 1. An example of comparison of the unweighted histogram with 200 events and the weighted histogram with 500 events:

1. unweighted histogram;
2. weighted histogram;
3. normalized residuals plot;
4. normal Q-Q plot of residuals.

The value of the test statistic \( \chi^{2} \) is equal to 21.09 with p-value equal to 0.33, therefore the hypothesis of identity of the two histograms can be accepted for 0.05 significant level. The behavior of the normalized residuals plot (see Fig. 1c) and the normal Q-Q plot (see Fig. 1d) of residuals are regular and we cannot identify the outliers or bins with a big influence on \( \chi^{2} \).

The second example presents the same two histograms but 17 events was added to content of bin number 15 in unweighted histogram. Fig.2 shows the result of comparison of the unweighted histogram with 217 events (minimal expected frequency equal to one) and the weighted histogram with 500 events (minimal expected frequency equal to 25)

Fig 2. An example of comparison of the unweighted histogram with 217 events and the weighted histogram with 500 events:

1. unweighted histogram;
2. weighted histogram;
3. normalized residuals plot;
4. normal Q-Q plot of residuals.

The value of the test statistic \( \chi^{2} \) is equal to 32.33 with p-value equal to 0.029, therefore the hypothesis of identity of the two histograms is rejected for 0.05 significant level. The behavior of the normalized residuals plot (see Fig. 2c) and the normal Q-Q plot (see Fig. 2d) of residuals are not regular and we can identify the outlier or bin with a big influence on \( \chi^{2} \).

Divide() [1/3]

Bool_t TH1::Divide ( TF1 *  f1, Double_t  c1 = 1  )

virtual

Performs the operation: this = this/(c1*f1) if errors are defined (see TH1::Sumw2), errors are also recalculated.

Only bins inside the function range are recomputed. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to use the errors of this histogram later you should call Sumw2 before making this operation. This is particularly important if you fit the histogram after TH1::Divide

The function return kFALSE if the divide operation failed

Divide() [2/3]

Bool_t TH1::Divide ( const TH1 *  h1 )

virtual

Divide this histogram by h1.

this = this/h1 if errors are defined (see TH1::Sumw2), errors are also recalculated. Note that if h1 has Sumw2 set, Sumw2 is automatically called for this if not already set. The resulting errors are calculated assuming uncorrelated histograms. See the other TH1::Divide that gives the possibility to optionally compute binomial errors.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to use the errors of this histogram later you should call Sumw2 before making this operation. This is particularly important if you fit the histogram after TH1::Scale

The function return kFALSE if the divide operation failed

Divide() [3/3]

Bool_t TH1::Divide ( const TH1 *  h1, const TH1 *  h2, Double_t  c1 = 1, Double_t  c2 = 1, Option_t *  option = ""  )

virtual

Replace contents of this histogram by the division of h1 by h2.

this = c1*h1/(c2*h2)

If errors are defined (see TH1::Sumw2), errors are also recalculated Note that if h1 or h2 have Sumw2 set, Sumw2 is automatically called for this if not already set. The resulting errors are calculated assuming uncorrelated histograms. However, if option ="B" is specified, Binomial errors are computed. In this case c1 and c2 do not make real sense and they are ignored.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to use the errors of this histogram later you should call Sumw2 before making this operation. This is particularly important if you fit the histogram after TH1::Divide

Please note also that in the binomial case errors are calculated using standard binomial statistics, which means when b1 = b2, the error is zero. If you prefer to have efficiency errors not going to zero when the efficiency is 1, you must use the function TGraphAsymmErrors::BayesDivide, which will return an asymmetric and non-zero lower error for the case b1=b2.

The function return kFALSE if the divide operation failed

Draw()

void TH1::Draw ( Option_t *  option = "" )

virtual

Draw this histogram with options.

Histograms are drawn via the THistPainter class. Each histogram has a pointer to its own painter (to be usable in a multithreaded program). The same histogram can be drawn with different options in different pads. When an histogram drawn in a pad is deleted, the histogram is automatically removed from the pad or pads where it was drawn. If an histogram is drawn in a pad, then filled again, the new status of the histogram will be automatically shown in the pad next time the pad is updated. One does not need to redraw the histogram. To draw the current version of an histogram in a pad, one can use h->DrawCopy(); This makes a clone of the histogram. Once the clone is drawn, the original histogram may be modified or deleted without affecting the aspect of the clone. By default, TH1::Draw clears the current pad.

One can use TH1::SetMaximum and TH1::SetMinimum to force a particular value for the maximum or the minimum scale on the plot.

TH1::UseCurrentStyle can be used to change all histogram graphics attributes to correspond to the current selected style. This function must be called for each histogram. In case one reads and draws many histograms from a file, one can force the histograms to inherit automatically the current graphics style by calling before gROOT->ForceStyle();

See the THistPainter class for a description of all the drawing options.

virtual

Copy this histogram and Draw in the current pad.

Once the histogram is drawn into the pad, any further modification using graphics input will be made on the copy of the histogram, and not to the original object. By default a postfix "_copy" is added to the histogram name. Pass an empty postfix in case you want to draw an histogram with the same name

See Draw for the list of options

Definition at line 2898 of file TH1.cxx.

DrawNormalized()

TH1 * TH1::DrawNormalized ( Option_t *  option = "", Double_t  norm = 1  ) const

virtual

Draw a normalized copy of this histogram.

A clone of this histogram is normalized to norm and drawn with option. A pointer to the normalized histogram is returned. The contents of the histogram copy are scaled such that the new sum of weights (excluding under and overflow) is equal to norm. Note that the returned normalized histogram is not added to the list of histograms in the current directory in memory. It is the user's responsibility to delete this histogram. The kCanDelete bit is set for the returned object. If a pad containing this copy is cleared, the histogram will be automatically deleted.

ExtendAxis()

void TH1::ExtendAxis ( Double_t  x, TAxis *  axis  )

virtual

Histogram is resized along axis such that x is in the axis range.

The new axis limits are recomputed by doubling iteratively the current axis range until the specified value x is within the limits. The algorithm makes a copy of the histogram, then loops on all bins of the old histogram to fill the extended histogram. Takes into account errors (Sumw2) if any. The algorithm works for 1-d, 2-D and 3-D histograms. The axis must be extendable before invoking this function. Ex:

h->GetXaxis()->SetCanExtend(kTRUE);

Parameters

[in]	option	fit options is given in parameter option. "W" Set all weights to 1 for non empty bins; ignore error bars "WW" Set all weights to 1 including empty bins; ignore error bars "I" Use integral of function in bin, normalized by the bin volume, instead of value at bin center "L" Use Loglikelihood method (default is chisquare method) "WL" Use Loglikelihood method and bin contents are not integer, i.e. histogram is weighted (must have Sumw2() set) "P" Use Pearson chi2 (using expected errors instead of observed errors) "U" Use a User specified fitting algorithm (via SetFCN) "Q" Quiet mode (minimum printing) "V" Verbose mode (default is between Q and V) "E" Perform better Errors estimation using Minos technique "B" User defined parameter settings are used for predefined functions like "gaus", "expo", "poln", "landau". Use this option when you want to fix one or more parameters for these functions. "M" More. Improve fit results. It uses the IMPROVE command of TMinuit (see TMinuit::mnimpr). This algorithm attempts to improve the found local minimum by searching for a better one. "R" Use the Range specified in the function range "N" Do not store the graphics function, do not draw "0" Do not plot the result of the fit. By default the fitted function is drawn unless the option"N" above is specified. "+" Add this new fitted function to the list of fitted functions (by default, any previous function is deleted) "C" In case of linear fitting, don't calculate the chisquare (saves time) "F" If fitting a polN, switch to minuit fitter "S" The result of the fit is returned in the TFitResultPtr (see below Access to the Fit Result)
[in]	goption	specify a list of graphics options. See TH1::Draw for a complete list of these options.
[in]	xxmin	range
[in]	xxmax	range

In order to use the Range option, one must first create a function with the expression to be fitted. For example, if your histogram has a defined range between -4 and 4 and you want to fit a gaussian only in the interval 1 to 3, you can do:

TF1 *f1 = new TF1("f1", "gaus", 1, 3);
histo->Fit("f1", "R");

Setting initial conditions

Parameters must be initialized before invoking the Fit function. The setting of the parameter initial values is automatic for the predefined functions : poln, expo, gaus, landau. One can however disable this automatic computation by specifying the option "B". Note that if a predefined function is defined with an argument, eg, gaus(0), expo(1), you must specify the initial values for the parameters. You can specify boundary limits for some or all parameters via

f1->SetParLimits(p_number, parmin, parmax);

if parmin>=parmax, the parameter is fixed Note that you are not forced to fix the limits for all parameters. For example, if you fit a function with 6 parameters, you can do:

func->SetParameters(0, 3.1, 1.e-6, -8, 0, 100);
func->SetParLimits(3, -10, -4);
func->FixParameter(4, 0);
func->SetParLimits(5, 1, 1);

With this setup, parameters 0->2 can vary freely Parameter 3 has boundaries [-10,-4] with initial value -8 Parameter 4 is fixed to 0 Parameter 5 is fixed to 100. When the lower limit and upper limit are equal, the parameter is fixed. However to fix a parameter to 0, one must call the FixParameter function.

Note that option "I" gives better results but is slower.

Changing the fitting objective function

By default a chi square function is used for fitting. When option "L" (or "LL") is used a Poisson likelihood function (see note below) is used. The functions are defined in the header Fit/Chi2Func.h or Fit/PoissonLikelihoodFCN and they are implemented using the routines FitUtil::EvaluateChi2 or FitUtil::EvaluatePoissonLogL in the file math/mathcore/src/FitUtil.cxx. To specify a User defined fitting function, specify option "U" and call the following functions:

TVirtualFitter::Fitter(myhist)->SetFCN(MyFittingFunction)

where MyFittingFunction is of type:

extern void MyFittingFunction(Int_t &npar, Double_t *gin, Double_t &f, Double_t *u, Int_t flag);

Chi2 Fits

By default a chi2 (least-square) fit is performed on the histogram. The so-called modified least-square method is used where the residual for each bin is computed using as error the observed value (the bin error)

\[ Chi2 = \sum{ \left(y(i) - \frac{f(x(i) | p )}{e(i)} \right)^2 } \]

where y(i) is the bin content for each bin i, x(i) is the bin center and e(i) is the bin error (sqrt(y(i) for an un-weighted histogram. Bins with zero errors are excluded from the fit. See also later the note on the treatment of empty bins. When using option "I" the residual is computed not using the function value at the bin center, f (x(i) | p), but the integral of the function in the bin, Integral{ f(x|p)dx } divided by the bin volume

Likelihood Fits

When using option "L" a likelihood fit is used instead of the default chi2 square fit. The likelihood is built assuming a Poisson probability density function for each bin. The negative log-likelihood to be minimized is

\[ NLL = \sum{ log Poisson ( y(i) | f(x(i) | p ) ) } \]

The exact likelihood used is the Poisson likelihood described in this paper: S. Baker and R. D. Cousins, “Clarification of the use of chi-square and likelihood functions in fits to histograms,” Nucl. Instrum. Meth. 221 (1984) 437.

This method can then be used only when the bin content represents counts (i.e. errors are sqrt(N) ). The likelihood method has the advantage of treating correctly bins with low statistics. In case of high statistics/bin the distribution of the bin content becomes a normal distribution and the likelihood and chi2 fit give the same result.

The likelihood method, although a bit slower, it is therefore the recommended method in case of low bin statistics, where the chi2 method may give incorrect results, in particular when there are several empty bins (see also below). In case of a weighted histogram, it is possible to perform a likelihood fit by using the option "WL". Note a weighted histogram is an histogram which has been filled with weights and it contains the sum of the weight square ( TH1::Sumw2() has been called). The bin error for a weighted histogram is the square root of the sum of the weight square.

Treatment of Empty Bins

Empty bins, which have the content equal to zero AND error equal to zero, are excluded by default from the chisquare fit, but they are considered in the likelihood fit. since they affect the likelihood if the function value in these bins is not negligible. When using option "WW" these bins will be considered in the chi2 fit with an error of 1. Note that if the histogram is having bins with zero content and non zero-errors they are considered as any other bins in the fit. Instead bins with zero error and non-zero content are excluded in the chi2 fit. A likelihood fit should also not be performed on such an histogram, since we are assuming a wrong pdf for each bin. In general, one should not fit an histogram with non-empty bins and zero errors, apart if all the bins have zero errors. In this case one could use the option "w", which gives a weight=1 for each bin (unweighted least-square fit).

Fitting a histogram of dimension N with a function of dimension N-1

It is possible to fit a TH2 with a TF1 or a TH3 with a TF2. In this case the option "Integral" is not allowed and each cell has equal weight.

Associated functions

One or more object (typically a TF1*) can be added to the list of functions (fFunctions) associated to each histogram. When TH1::Fit is invoked, the fitted function is added to this list. Given an histogram h, one can retrieve an associated function with:

TF1 *myfunc = h->GetFunction("myfunc");

Access to the fit result

The function returns a TFitResultPtr which can hold a pointer to a TFitResult object. By default the TFitResultPtr contains only the status of the fit which is return by an automatic conversion of the TFitResultPtr to an integer. One can write in this case directly:

Int_t fitStatus =  h->Fit(myFunc)

If the option "S" is instead used, TFitResultPtr contains the TFitResult and behaves as a smart pointer to it. For example one can do:

TFitResultPtr r = h->Fit(myFunc,"S");
TMatrixDSym cov = r->GetCovarianceMatrix();  //  to access the covariance matrix
Double_t chi2   = r->Chi2(); // to retrieve the fit chi2
Double_t par0   = r->Parameter(0); // retrieve the value for the parameter 0
Double_t err0   = r->ParError(0); // retrieve the error for the parameter 0
r->Print("V");     // print full information of fit including covariance matrix
r->Write();        // store the result in a file

The fit parameters, error and chi2 (but not covariance matrix) can be retrieved also from the fitted function. If the histogram is made persistent, the list of associated functions is also persistent. Given a pointer (see above) to an associated function myfunc, one can retrieve the function/fit parameters with calls such as:

Double_t chi2 = myfunc->GetChisquare();
Double_t par0 = myfunc->GetParameter(0); //value of 1st parameter
Double_t err0 = myfunc->GetParError(0);  //error on first parameter

Access to the fit status

The status of the fit can be obtained converting the TFitResultPtr to an integer independently if the fit option "S" is used or not:

TFitResultPtr r = h->Fit(myFunc,opt);
Int_t fitStatus = r;

The fitStatus is 0 if the fit is OK (i.e no error occurred). The value of the fit status code is negative in case of an error not connected with the minimization procedure, for example when a wrong function is used. Otherwise the return value is the one returned from the minimization procedure. When TMinuit (default case) or Minuit2 are used as minimizer the status returned is : fitStatus = migradResult + 10*minosResult + 100*hesseResult + 1000*improveResult. TMinuit will return 0 (for migrad, minos, hesse or improve) in case of success and 4 in case of error (see the documentation of TMinuit::mnexcm). So for example, for an error only in Minos but not in Migrad a fitStatus of 40 will be returned. Minuit2 will return also 0 in case of success and different values in migrad minos or hesse depending on the error. See in this case the documentation of Minuit2Minimizer::Minimize for the migradResult, Minuit2Minimizer::GetMinosError for the minosResult and Minuit2Minimizer::Hesse for the hesseResult. If other minimizers are used see their specific documentation for the status code returned. For example in the case of Fumili, for the status returned see TFumili::Minimize.

Excluding points

Use TF1::RejectPoint inside your fitting function to exclude points within a certain range from the fit. Example:

Double_t fline(Double_t *x, Double_t *par)
{
   if (x[0] > 2.5 && x[0] < 3.5) {
      TF1::RejectPoint();
      return 0;
   }
   return par[0] + par[1]*x[0];
}

void exclude() {
   TF1 *f1 = new TF1("f1", "[0] +[1]*x +gaus(2)", 0, 5);
   f1->SetParameters(6, -1,5, 3, 0.2);
   TH1F *h = new TH1F("h", "background + signal", 100, 0, 5);
   h->FillRandom("f1", 2000);
   TF1 *fline = new TF1("fline", fline, 0, 5, 2);
   fline->SetParameters(2, -1);
   h->Fit("fline", "l");
}

Warning when using the option "0"

When selecting the option "0", the fitted function is added to the list of functions of the histogram, but it is not drawn. You can undo what you disabled in the following way:

h.Fit("myFunction", "0"); // fit, store function but do not draw
h.Draw(); function is not drawn
const Int_t kNotDraw = 1<<9;
h.GetFunction("myFunction")->ResetBit(kNotDraw);
h.Draw();  // function is visible again

Access to the Minimizer information during fitting

This function calls, the ROOT::Fit::FitObject function implemented in HFitImpl.cxx which uses the ROOT::Fit::Fitter class. The Fitter class creates the objective function (e.g. chi2 or likelihood) and uses an implementation of the Minimizer interface for minimizing the function. The default minimizer is Minuit (class TMinuitMinimizer which calls TMinuit). The default can be set in the resource file in etc/system.rootrc. For example

Root.Fitter:      Minuit2

A different fitter can also be set via ROOT::Math::MinimizerOptions::SetDefaultMinimizer (or TVirtualFitter::SetDefaultFitter). For example ROOT::Math::MinimizerOptions::SetDefaultMinimizer("GSLMultiMin","BFGS"); will set the usage of the BFGS algorithm of the GSL multi-dimensional minimization (implemented in libMathMore). ROOT::Math::MinimizerOptions can be used also to set other default options, like maximum number of function calls, minimization tolerance or print level. See the documentation of this class.

For fitting linear functions (containing the "++" sign" and polN functions, the linear fitter is automatically initialized.

GetAsymmetry()

TH1 * TH1::GetAsymmetry	(	TH1 *	h2,
		Double_t	c2 = 1,
		Double_t	dc2 = 0
	)

Return an histogram containing the asymmetry of this histogram with h2, where the asymmetry is defined as:

Asymmetry = (h1 - h2)/(h1 + h2)  where h1 = this

works for 1D, 2D, etc. histograms c2 is an optional argument that gives a relative weight between the two histograms, and dc2 is the error on this weight. This is useful, for example, when forming an asymmetry between two histograms from 2 different data sets that need to be normalized to each other in some way. The function calculates the errors assuming Poisson statistics on h1 and h2 (that is, dh = sqrt(h)).

example: assuming 'h1' and 'h2' are already filled

h3 = h1->GetAsymmetry(h2)

then 'h3' is created and filled with the asymmetry between 'h1' and 'h2'; h1 and h2 are left intact.

Note that it is the user's responsibility to manage the created histogram. The name of the returned histogram will be Asymmetry_nameOfh1-nameOfh2

code proposed by Jason Seely (seely.nosp@m.@mit.nosp@m..edu) and adapted by R.Brun

2-D and 3-D histograms are represented with a one dimensional structure. This has the advantage that all existing functions, such as GetBinContent, GetBinError, GetBinFunction work for all dimensions.

In case of a TH1x, returns binx directly. see TH1::GetBinXYZ for the inverse transformation.

• bin = 0; underflow bin

Double_t TH1::GetEffectiveEntries ( ) const

virtual

Number of effective entries of the histogram.

\[ neff = \frac{(\sum Weights )^2}{(\sum Weight^2 )} \]

In case of an unweighted histogram this number is equivalent to the number of entries of the histogram. For a weighted histogram, this number corresponds to the hypothetical number of unweighted entries a histogram would need to have the same statistical power as this weighted histogram. Note: The underflow/overflow are included if one has set the TH1::StatOverFlows flag and if the statistics has been computed at filling time. If a range is set in the histogram the number is computed from the given range.

void TH1::GetMinimumAndMaximum ( Double_t &  min, Double_t &  max  ) const

virtual

Retrieve the minimum and maximum values in the histogram.

This will not return a cached value and will always search the histogram for the min and max values. The user can condition whether or not to call this with the GetMinimumStored() and GetMaximumStored() methods. If the cache is empty, then the value will be -1111. Users can then use the SetMinimum() or SetMaximum() methods to cache the results. For example, the following recipe will make efficient use of this method and the cached minimum and maximum values.

Double_t currentMin = pHist->GetMinimumStored();
Double_t currentMax = pHist->GetMaximumStored();
if ((currentMin == -1111) || (currentMax == -1111)) {

Compute Quantiles for this histogram Quantile x_q of a probability distribution Function F is defined as.

F(x_q) = q with 0 <= q <= 1.

For instance the median x_0.5 of a distribution is defined as that value of the random variable for which the distribution function equals 0.5:

F(x_0.5) = Probability(x < x_0.5) = 0.5

code from Eddy Offermann, Renaissance

Parameters

[in]	nprobSum	maximum size of array q and size of array probSum (if given)
[in]	probSum	array of positions where quantiles will be computed. if probSum is null, probSum will be computed internally and will have a size = number of bins + 1 in h. it will correspond to the quantiles calculated at the lowest edge of the histogram (quantile=0) and all the upper edges of the bins. if probSum is not null, it is assumed to contain at least nprobSum values.
[out]	q	array q filled with nq quantiles

Returns

value nq (<=nprobSum) with the number of quantiles computed

Note that the Integral of the histogram is automatically recomputed if the number of entries is different of the number of entries when the integral was computed last time. In case you do not use the Fill functions to fill your histogram, but SetBinContent, you must call TH1::ComputeIntegral before calling this function.

Getting quantiles q from two histograms and storing results in a TGraph, a so-called QQ-plot

TGraph *gr = new TGraph(nprob);
h1->GetQuantiles(nprob,gr->GetX());

void quantiles() {
   // demo for quantiles
   const Int_t nq = 20;
   TH1F *h = new TH1F("h","demo quantiles",100,-3,3);
   h->FillRandom("gaus",5000);

   Double_t xq[nq];  // position where to compute the quantiles in [0,1]
   Double_t yq[nq];  // array to contain the quantiles
   for (Int_t i=0;i<nq;i++) xq[i] = Float_t(i+1)/nq;

If no axis-subrange is specified (via TAxis::SetRange), the array stats is simply a copy of the statistics quantities computed at filling time. If a sub-range is specified, the function recomputes these quantities from the bin contents in the current axis range.

Note that the mean value/StdDev is computed using the bins in the currently defined range (see TAxis::SetRange). By default the range includes all bins from 1 to nbins included, excluding underflows and overflows. To force the underflows and overflows in the computation, one must call the static function TH1::StatOverflows(kTRUE) before filling the histogram.

Value returned is standard deviation of sample standard deviation. Note that it is an approximated value which is valid only in the case that the original data distribution is Normal. The correct one would require the 4-th momentum value, which cannot be accurately estimated from an histogram since the x-information for all entries is not kept.

KolmogorovTest()

Double_t TH1::KolmogorovTest ( const TH1 *  h2, Option_t *  option = ""  ) const

virtual

Statistical test of compatibility in shape between this histogram and h2, using Kolmogorov test.

Note that the KolmogorovTest (KS) test should in theory be used only for unbinned data and not for binned data as in the case of the histogram (see NOTE 3 below). So, before using this method blindly, read the NOTE 3.

Default: Ignore under- and overflow bins in comparison

Parameters

[in]	h2	histogram
[in]	option	is a character string to specify options "U" include Underflows in test (also for 2-dim) "O" include Overflows (also valid for 2-dim) "N" include comparison of normalizations "D" Put out a line of "Debug" printout "M" Return the Maximum Kolmogorov distance instead of prob "X" Run the pseudo experiments post-processor with the following procedure: make pseudoexperiments based on random values from the parent distribution and compare the KS distance of the pseudoexperiment to the parent distribution. Bin the KS distances in a histogram, and then take the integral of all the KS values above the value obtained from the original data to Monte Carlo distribution. The number of pseudo-experiments nEXPT is currently fixed at 1000. The function returns the integral. (thanks to Ben Kilminster to submit this procedure). Note that this option "X" is much slower.

The returned function value is the probability of test (much less than one means NOT compatible)

Code adapted by Rene Brun from original HBOOK routine HDIFF

NOTE1 A good description of the Kolmogorov test can be seen at: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda35g.htm

NOTE2 see also alternative function TH1::Chi2Test The Kolmogorov test is assumed to give better results than Chi2Test in case of histograms with low statistics.

NOTE3 (Jan Conrad, Fred James) "The returned value PROB is calculated such that it will be uniformly distributed between zero and one for compatible histograms, provided the data are not binned (or the number of bins is very large compared with the number of events). Users who have access to unbinned data and wish exact confidence levels should therefore not put their data into histograms, but should call directly TMath::KolmogorovTest. On the other hand, since TH1 is a convenient way of collecting data and saving space, this function has been provided. However, the values of PROB for binned data will be shifted slightly higher than expected, depending on the effects of the binning. For example, when comparing two uniform distributions of 500 events in 100 bins, the values of PROB, instead of being exactly uniformly distributed between zero and one, have a mean value of about 0.56. We can apply a useful rule: As long as the bin width is small compared with any significant physical effect (for example the experimental resolution) then the binning cannot have an important effect. Therefore, we believe that for all practical purposes, the probability value PROB is calculated correctly provided the user is aware that:

1. The value of PROB should not be expected to have exactly the correct distribution for binned data.
2. The user is responsible for seeing to it that the bin widths are small compared with any physical phenomena of interest.
3. The effect of binning (if any) is always to make the value of PROB slightly too big. That is, setting an acceptance criterion of (PROB>0.05 will assure that at most 5% of truly compatible histograms are rejected, and usually somewhat less."

Note also that for GoF test of unbinned data ROOT provides also the class ROOT::Math::GoFTest. The class has also method for doing one sample tests (i.e. comparing the data with a given distribution).

Merge()

Long64_t TH1::Merge ( TCollection *  li )

virtual

Add all histograms in the collection to this histogram.

This function computes the min/max for the x axis, compute a new number of bins, if necessary, add bin contents, errors and statistics. If all histograms have bin labels, bins with identical labels will be merged, no matter what their order is. If overflows are present and limits are different the function will fail. The function returns the total number of entries in the result histogram if the merge is successful, -1 otherwise.

IMPORTANT remark. The axis x may have different number of bins and different limits, BUT the largest bin width must be a multiple of the smallest bin width and the upper limit must also be a multiple of the bin width. Example:

void atest() {
  TH1F *h1 = new TH1F("h1","h1",110,-110,0);
  TH1F *h2 = new TH1F("h2","h2",220,0,110);

Rebin()

TH1 * TH1::Rebin ( Int_t  ngroup = 2, const char *  newname = "", const Double_t *  xbins = 0  )

virtual

Rebin this histogram.

case 1 xbins=0

If newname is blank (default), the current histogram is modified and a pointer to it is returned.

If newname is not blank, the current histogram is not modified, and a new histogram is returned which is a Clone of the current histogram with its name set to newname.

The parameter ngroup indicates how many bins of this have to be merged into one bin of the result.

If the original histogram has errors stored (via Sumw2), the resulting histograms has new errors correctly calculated.

examples: if h1 is an existing TH1F histogram with 100 bins

h1->Rebin();  //merges two bins in one in h1: previous contents of h1 are lost
h1->Rebin(5); //merges five bins in one in h1
TH1F *hnew = dynamic_cast<TH1F*>(h1->Rebin(5,"hnew")); // creates a new histogram hnew
                                                       // merging 5 bins of h1 in one bin

NOTE: If ngroup is not an exact divider of the number of bins, the top limit of the rebinned histogram is reduced to the upper edge of the last bin that can make a complete group. The remaining bins are added to the overflow bin. Statistics will be recomputed from the new bin contents.

case 2 xbins!=0

A new histogram is created (you should specify newname). The parameter ngroup is the number of variable size bins in the created histogram. The array xbins must contain ngroup+1 elements that represent the low-edges of the bins. If the original histogram has errors stored (via Sumw2), the resulting histograms has new errors correctly calculated.

NOTE: The bin edges specified in xbins should correspond to bin edges in the original histogram. If a bin edge in the new histogram is in the middle of a bin in the original histogram, all entries in the split bin in the original histogram will be transfered to the lower of the two possible bins in the new histogram. This is probably not what you want.

examples: if h1 is an existing TH1F histogram with 100 bins

Double_t xbins[25] = {...} array of low-edges (xbins[25] is the upper edge of last bin
h1->Rebin(24,"hnew",xbins);  //creates a new variable bin size histogram hnew

Smooth bin contents of this histogram.

if option contains "R" smoothing is applied only to the bins defined in the X axis range (default is to smooth all bins) Bin contents are replaced by their smooth values. Errors (if any) are not modified. the smoothing procedure is repeated ntimes (default=1)

Reimplemented in TH2.

StatOverflows()

void TH1::StatOverflows ( Bool_t  flag = kTRUE )

static

if flag=kTRUE, underflows and overflows are used by the Fill functions in the computation of statistics (mean value, StdDev).

By default, underflows or overflows are not used.

Definition at line 6241 of file TH1.cxx.

Sumw2()

void TH1::Sumw2 ( Bool_t  flag = kTRUE )

virtual

Create structure to store sum of squares of weights.

if histogram is already filled, the sum of squares of weights is filled with the existing bin contents

The error per bin will be computed as sqrt(sum of squares of weight) for each bin.

This function is automatically called when the histogram is created if the static function TH1::SetDefaultSumw2 has been called before. If flag = false the structure is deleted

Reimplemented in TProfile2D, TProfile3D, and TProfile.

TransformHisto()

TH1 * TH1::TransformHisto ( TVirtualFFT *  fft, TH1 *  h_output, Option_t *  option  )

static

For a given transform (first parameter), fills the histogram (second parameter) with the transform output data, specified in the third parameter If the 2nd parameter h_output is empty, a new histogram (TH1D or TH2D) is created and the user is responsible for deleting it.

Available options:

• "RE" - real part of the output
• "IM" - imaginary part of the output
• "MAG" - magnitude of the output
• "PH" - phase of the output
