RooFormula Class Reference

RooFormula internally uses ROOT's TFormula to compute user-defined expressions of RooAbsArgs.

The string expression can be any valid TFormula expression referring to the listed servers either by name or by their ordinal list position. These three are forms equivalent:

RooFormula("formula", "x*y", RooArgList(x,y)) or
RooFormula("formula", "@0*@1", RooArgList(x,y))
RooFormula("formula", "x[0]*x[1]", RooArgList(x,y))
RooArgList is a container object that can hold multiple RooAbsArg objects.
Definition RooArgList.h:22
RooFormula()
Default constructor coverity[UNINIT_CTOR].
Double_t y[n]
Definition legend1.C:17
Double_t x[n]
Definition legend1.C:17

Note that x[i] is an expression reserved for TFormula. If a variable with the name x is given, the RooFormula interprets x as a variable name, but x[i] as an index in the list of variables.

Category expressions

State information of RooAbsCategories can be accessed using the '::' operator, i.e.*, tagCat::Kaon will resolve to the numerical value of the Kaon state of the RooAbsCategory object named tagCat.

A formula to switch between lepton categories could look like this:

RooFormula("formulaWithCat",
"x * (leptonMulti == leptonMulti::one) + y * (leptonMulti == leptonMulti::two)",
RooArgList(x, y, leptonMulti));

Debugging a formula that won't compile

When the formula is preprocessed, RooFit can print information in the debug stream. These can be retrieved by activating the RooFit::MsgLevel RooFit::DEBUG and the RooFit::MsgTopic RooFit::InputArguments. Check the tutorial rf506_msgservice.C for details.
