Detailed Description

Example demonstrating usage of HybridCalcultor

A hypothesis testing example based on number counting with background uncertainty.

NOTE: This example must be run with the ACLIC (the + option ) due to the new class that is defined.

This example:

• demonstrates the usage of the HybridCalcultor (Part 4-6)
• demonstrates the numerical integration of RooFit (Part 2)
• validates the RooStats against an example with a known analytic answer
• demonstrates usage of different test statistics
• explains subtle choices in the prior used for hybrid methods
• demonstrates usage of different priors for the nuisance parameters
• demonstrates usage of PROOF

The basic setup here is that a main measurement has observed x events with an expectation of s+b. One can choose an ad hoc prior for the uncertainty on b, or try to base it on an auxiliary measurement. In this case, the auxiliary measurement (aka control measurement, sideband) is another counting experiment with measurement y and expectation tau*b. With an 'original prior' on b, called \(\eta(b)\) then one can obtain a posterior from the auxiliary measurement \(\pi(b) = \eta(b) * Pois(y|tau*b).\) This is a principled choice for a prior on b in the main measurement of x, which can then be treated in a hybrid Bayesian/Frequentist way. Additionally, one can try to treat the two measurements simultaneously, which is detailed in Part 6 of the tutorial.

This tutorial is related to the FourBin.C tutorial in the modeling, but focuses on hypothesis testing instead of interval estimation.

   // Now we demonstrate the RooStats HybridCalculator.

   // Like all RooStats calculators it needs the data and a ModelConfig

   // we need a ModelConfig for the null (background only) and the alternate
   // (signal+background) hypotheses.  We also need to specify the PDF,
   // the parameters of interest, and the observables.  Furthermore, since
   // the parameter of interest is floating, we need to specify which values
   // of the parameter corresponds to the null and alternate (eg. s=0 and s=50)
   //
   // define some sets of variables obs={x} and poi={s}
   // note here, x is the only observable in the main measurement
   // and y is treated as a separate measurement, which is used
   // to produce the prior that will be used in this calculation
   // to randomize the nuisance parameters.
   w->defineSet("obs", "x");
   w->defineSet("poi", "s");
 
   // create a toy dataset with the x=150
   RooDataSet *data = new RooDataSet("d", "d", *w->set("obs"));
   data->add(*w->set("obs"));
 
   // Part 3a : Setup ModelConfigs
   // -------------------------------------------------------
   // create the null (background-only) ModelConfig with s=0
   ModelConfig b_model("B_model", w);
   b_model.SetPdf(*w->pdf("px"));
   b_model.SetObservables(*w->set("obs"));
   b_model.SetParametersOfInterest(*w->set("poi"));

   // Part 3b : Choose Test Statistic
   // ----------------------------------
   // To make an equivalent calculation we need to use x as the test
   // statistic.  This is not a built-in test statistic in RooStats
   // so we define it above.  The new class inherits from the
   // RooStats::TestStatistic interface, and simply returns the value
   // of x in the dataset.
 
   BinCountTestStat binCount("x");
 
   // Part 3c : Define Prior used to randomize nuisance parameters
   // -------------------------------------------------------------
   //
   // The prior used for the hybrid calculator is the posterior
   // from the auxiliary measurement y.  The model for the aux.
   // measurement is Pois(y|tau*b), thus the likelihood function
   // is proportional to (has the form of) a Gamma distribution.
   // if the 'original prior' $\eta(b)$ is uniform, then from
   // Bayes's theorem we have the posterior:
   // $\pi(b) = Pois(y|tau*b) * \eta(b)$
   // If $\eta(b)$ is flat, then we arrive at a Gamma distribution.
   // Since RooFit will normalize the PDF we can actually supply
   // $py=Pois(y,tau*b)$ that will be equivalent to multiplying by a uniform.
   //
   // Alternatively, we could explicitly use a gamma distribution:
   // `w->factory("Gamma::gamma(b,sum::temp(y,1),1,0)");`
   //
   // or we can use some other ad hoc prior that do not naturally
   // follow from the known form of the auxiliary measurement.
   // The common choice is the equivalent Gaussian:
   w->factory("Gaussian::gauss_prior(b,y, expr::sqrty('sqrt(y)',y))");
   // this corresponds to the "Z_N" calculation.
   //
   // or one could use the analogous log-normal prior
   w->factory("Lognormal::lognorm_prior(b,y, expr::kappa('1+1./sqrt(y)',y))");
   //
   // Ideally, the HybridCalculator would be able to inspect the full
   // model $Pois(x | s+b) * Pois(y | tau b )$ and be given the original
   // prior $\eta(b)$ to form $\pi(b) = Pois(y|tau*b) * \eta(b)$.
   // This is not yet implemented because in the general case
   // it is not easy to identify the terms in the PDF that correspond
   // to the auxiliary measurement.  So for now, it must be set
   // explicitly with:
   //  - ForcePriorNuisanceNull()
   //  - ForcePriorNuisanceAlt()
   // the name "ForcePriorNuisance" was chosen because we anticipate
   // this to be auto-detected, but will leave the option open
   // to force to a different prior for the nuisance parameters.
