Statistical inference

How to run limits

1. As a temporary workaround, if you want to run multiplie commands, to avoid delays to load environment each time run:

   cmbEnv /bin/zsh # or /bin/bash
   

   Alternatively add cmbEnv in front of each command. E.g.

   cmbEnv python3 -c 'print("hello")'
   

2. Create datacards.

   python3 StatInference/dc_make/create_datacards.py --input PATH_TO_SHAPES  --output PATH_TO_CARDS --config PATH_TO_CONFIG
   

   Available configurations:
   • For X->HH>bbtautau Run 2: StatInference/config/x_hh_bbtautau_run2.yaml
   • For X->HH->bbWW Run 3: StatInference/config/x_hh_bbww_run3.yaml

3. Run limits.

   law run PlotResonantLimits --version dev --datacards 'PATH_TO_CARDS/*.txt' --xsec fb --y-log
   

   Hints:
   • use --workflow htcondor to submit on HTCondor (by default it runs locally)
   • add --remove-output 4,a,y to remove previous output files
   • add --print-status 0 to get status of the workflow (where 0 is a depth). Useful to get the output file name.
