Final Fits (higgsdnafinalfit)

This is the branch for using final fits with the output of HiggsDNA.

Welcome to the new Final Fits package. Here lies a a series of scripts which are used to run the final stages of CMS Hgg analyses: signal modelling, background modelling, datacard creation, final statistical interpretation and final result plots.

You can follow the latest Final Fits tutorial here. Slides from an older flashgg-based tutorial series can be found here

Contents

The Finals Fits package contains several subfolders which are used for the following steps:

• Create the Signal Model (see Signal dir)
• Create the Background Model (see Background dir)
• Generate a Datacard (see Datacard dir)
• Running fits with combine (see Combine dir)
• Scripts to produce plots (see Plots dir)

The signal modelling, background modelling and datacard creation can be ran in parallel. Of course the final fits (Combine) requires the output of these three steps. In addition, the scripts in the Trees2WS dir are a series of lightweight scripts for converting standard ROOT trees into a RooWorkspace that can be read by the Final Fits package.

Finally, the objects and tools which are common to all subfolders are defined in the tools directory. If your input workspaces differ from the flashgg output workspace structure, then you may need to change the options here.

Each of the relevant folders are documented with specific README.md files.
