class TRolke: public TObject


  TRolke

  This class computes confidence intervals for the rate of a Poisson
  process in the presence of uncertain background and/or efficiency.

  The treatment and the resulting limits are fully frequentist. The
  limit calculations make use of the profile likelihood method.

  TRolke implements the following Models


  The signal is always assumed to be Poisson, with the following
  combinations of models of background and detection efficiency:

  If unsure, first consider model 3, 4 or 5.

       1: SetPoissonBkgBinomEff(x,y,z,tau,m)

          Background: Poisson
          Efficiency: Binomial

          when the background is simultaneously measured
          from sidebands (or MC), and
          the signal efficiency was determined from Monte Carlo

       2: SetPoissonBkgGaussEff(x,y,em,sde,tau)

          Background: Poisson
          Efficiency: Gaussian

          when the background is simultaneously measured
          from sidebands (or MC), and
          the efficiency is modeled as Gaussian

       3: SetGaussBkgGaussEff(x,bm,em,sde,sdb)

          Background: Gaussian
          Efficiency: Gaussian

          when background and efficiency can both be
          modeled as Gaussian.

       4: SetPoissonBkgKnownEff(x,y,tau,e)

          Background: Poisson
          Efficiency: Known

          when the background is simultaneously measured
          from sidebands (or MC).

       5: SetGaussBkgKnownEff(x,bm,sdb,e)

          Background: Gaussian
          Efficiency: Known

          when background is Gaussian

       6: SetKnownBkgBinomEff(x,z,b,m)

          Background: Known
          Efficiency: Binomial

          when signal efficiency was determined from Monte Carlo

       7: SetKnownBkgGaussEff(x,em,sde,b)

          Background: Known
          Efficiency: Gaussian

          when background is known and efficiency Gaussian

  Parameters and further explanation


  For all models:


    x = number of observed events in the experiment

    Efficiency (e or em) is the detection probability for signal.
    A low efficiency hence generally means weaker limits.
    If the efficiency of an experiment (with analysis cuts) is
    dealt with elsewhere, em or e can be set to one.

  For Poisson background measurements (sideband or MC):


    y = number of observed events in background region
    tau =
        Either: the ratio between signal and background region
        in case background is observed.
        Or: the ratio between observed and simulated live-time
        in case background is determined from MC.

  For Gaussian efficiency or background:


    bm  = estimate of the background
    sdb = corresponding standard deviation

    em  = estimate of the efficiency
    sde = corresponding standard deviation

        If the efficiency scale of dealt with elsewhere,
        set em to 1 and sde to the relative uncertainty.

  For Binomial signal efficiency:


     m = number of MC events generated
     z = number of MC events observed

  For the case of known background expectation or known efficiency:


     e = true efficiency (considered known)
     b = background expectation value (considered known)





  The confidence level (CL) is set either at construction
  time or with either of SetCL or SetCLSigmas

  The TRolke method is very similar to the one used in MINUIT (MINOS).

  Two options are offered to deal with cases where the maximum likelihood
  estimate (MLE) is not in the physical region. Version "bounded likelihood"
  is the one used by MINOS if bounds for the physical region are chosen.
  Unbounded likelihood (the default) allows the MLE to be in the
  unphysical region. It has however better coverage.
  For more details consult the reference (see below).

  For a description of the method and its properties:

  W.Rolke, A. Lopez, J. Conrad and Fred James
  "Limits and Confidence Intervals in presence of nuisance parameters"

   Nucl.Instrum.Meth.A551:493-503,2005

  Should I use TRolke, TFeldmanCousins, TLimit?


  1. Does TRolke make TFeldmanCousins obsolete?

  Certainly not. TFeldmanCousins is the fully frequentist construction and
  should be used in case of no (or negligible) uncertainties. It is however
  not capable of treating uncertainties in nuisance parameters. In other
  words, it does not handle background expectations or signal efficiencies
  which are known only with some limited accuracy.

  TRolke is designed for this case and it is shown in the reference above
  that it has good coverage properties for most cases, and can be used
  where FeldmannCousins can't.

  2. What are the advantages of TRolke over TLimit?

  TRolke is fully frequentist. TLimit treats nuisance parameters Bayesian.

  For a coverage study of a Bayesian method refer to
  physics/0408039 (Tegenfeldt & J.C). However, this note studies
  the coverage of Feldman&Cousins with Bayesian treatment of nuisance
  parameters. To make a long story short: using the Bayesian method you
  might introduce a small amount of over-coverage (though I haven't shown it
  for TLimit). On the other hand, coverage of course is a not so interesting
  when you consider yourself a Bayesian.
