RooStats::MCMCInterval Class Reference

MCMCInterval is a concrete implementation of the RooStats::ConfInterval interface.

It takes as input Markov Chain of data points in the parameter space generated by Monte Carlo using the Metropolis algorithm. From the Markov Chain, the confidence interval can be determined in two ways:

Using a Kernel-Estimated PDF: (not the default method)

A RooNDKeysPdf is constructed from the data set using adaptive kernel width. With this RooNDKeysPdf F, we then integrate over the most likely domain in the parameter space (tallest points in the posterior RooNDKeysPdf) until the target confidence level is reached within an acceptable neighborhood as defined by SetEpsilon(). More specifically: we calculate the following for different cutoff values C until we reach the target confidence level: \(\int_{ F >= C } F d{normset} \). Important note: this is not the default method because of a bug in constructing the RooNDKeysPdf from a weighted data set. Configure to use this method by calling SetUseKeys(true), and the data set will be interpreted without weights.

Using a binned data set: (the default method)

This is the binned analog of the continuous integrative method that uses the kernel-estimated PDF. The points in the Markov Chain are put into a binned data set and the interval is then calculated by adding the heights of the bins in decreasing order until the desired level of confidence has been reached. Note that this means the actual confidence level is >= the confidence level prescribed by the client (unless the user calls SetHistStrict(false)). This method is the default but may not remain as such in future releases, so you may wish to explicitly configure to use this method by calling SetUseKeys(false)

These are not the only ways for the confidence interval to be determined, and other possibilities are being considered being added, especially for the 1-dimensional case.

One can ask an MCMCInterval for the lower and upper limits on a specific parameter of interest in the interval. Note that this works better for some distributions (ones with exactly one local maximum) than others, and sometimes has little value.
