Detailed Description

Numeric algorithm tuning: configuration and customization of how MC sampling algorithms on specific pdfs are executed

 
import ROOT
 
 
# Adjust global MC sampling strategy
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
 
# Example pdf for use below
x = ROOT.RooRealVar("x", "x", 0, 10)
model = ROOT.RooChebychev("model", "model", x, ROOT.RooArgList(
    ROOT.RooFit.RooConst(0), ROOT.RooFit.RooConst(0.5), ROOT.RooFit.RooConst(-0.1)))
 
# Change global strategy for 1D sampling problems without conditional observable
# (1st kFALSE) and without discrete observable (2nd kFALSE) from ROOT.RooFoamGenerator,
# ( an interface to the ROOT.TFoam MC generator with adaptive subdivisioning strategy ) to ROOT.RooAcceptReject,
# a plain accept/reject sampling algorithm [ ROOT.RooFit default before
# ROOT 5.23/04 ]
ROOT.RooAbsPdf.defaultGeneratorConfig().method1D(
    ROOT.kFALSE, ROOT.kFALSE).setLabel("RooAcceptReject")
 
# Generate 10Kevt using ROOT.RooAcceptReject
data_ar = model.generate(ROOT.RooArgSet(
    x), 10000, ROOT.RooFit.Verbose(ROOT.kTRUE))
data_ar.Print()
 
# Adjusting default config for a specific pdf
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
# Another possibility: associate custom MC sampling configuration as default for object 'model'
# The kTRUE argument will install a clone of the default configuration as specialized configuration
# for self model if none existed so far
model.specialGeneratorConfig(ROOT.kTRUE).method1D(
    ROOT.kFALSE, ROOT.kFALSE).setLabel("RooFoamGenerator")
 
# Adjusting parameters of a specific technique
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
# Adjust maximum number of steps of ROOT.RooIntegrator1D in the global
# default configuration
ROOT.RooAbsPdf.defaultGeneratorConfig().getConfigSection(
    "RooAcceptReject").setRealValue("nTrial1D", 2000)
 
# Example of how to change the parameters of a numeric integrator
# (Each config section is a ROOT.RooArgSet with ROOT.RooRealVars holding real-valued parameters
#  and ROOT.RooCategories holding parameters with a finite set of options)
model.specialGeneratorConfig().getConfigSection(
    "RooFoamGenerator").setRealValue("chatLevel", 1)
 
# Generate 10Kevt using ROOT.RooFoamGenerator (FOAM verbosity increased
# with above chatLevel adjustment for illustration purposes)
data_foam = model.generate(ROOT.RooArgSet(x), 10000, ROOT.RooFit.Verbose())
data_foam.Print()
