As input data is used a toy-MC sample consisting of two gaussian distributions.
The output file "TMVA.root" can be analysed with the use of dedicated macros (simply say: root -l <macro.C>), which can be conveniently invoked through a GUI that will appear at the end of the run of this macro. Launch the GUI via the command:
Cross evaluation is a special case of k-folds cross validation where the splitting into k folds is computed deterministically. This ensures that the a given event will always end up in the same fold.
In addition all resulting classifiers are saved and can be applied to new data using MethodCrossValidation
. One requirement for this to work is a splitting function that is evaluated for each event to determine into what fold it goes (for training/evaluation) or to what classifier (for application).
Cross evaluation uses a deterministic split to partition the data into folds called the split expression. The expression can be any valid TFormula
as long as all parts used are defined.
For each event the split expression is evaluated to a number and the event is put in the fold corresponding to that number.
The split expression has access to all spectators and variables defined in the dataloader. Additionally, the number of folds in the split can be accessed with NumFolds
(or numFolds
).
