Comparing tune performance – prof-comparetunes

prof-comparetunes makes histograms comparing the goodness of fit of multiple tunes. The name “tune” in this context really means a run: the input data is read in the format of an input MC scan directory from MCDIR, i.e. a used_params file and an out.aida file. Such directories can be created from tune interpolations by using the prof-tune or prof-ipolhistos programs.

The --datadir DATADIR and related options are used as normal to specify the reference data: see the path options page.

The output format of the histograms is in the Rivet make-plots script’s .dat format and can be plotted with that script.

Example

Simple example: plot the goodness of fit for a single tune/run, located in the tune1 directory:

prof-comparetunes --refdir datahistos --weights my.weights tune1/:"very good tune"

Command-line options

The --datadir DATADIR and related options are used as normal to specify the reference data, MC runs, and interpolation objects: see the path options page.

--weights WEIGHTSFILE

A file listing the observables and weights for the goodness of fit calculation.

--no-weights

Ignore the weights in the weights file, instead using all listed observables with a weight of 1.0 per bin.
