Plotting MC envelope histograms – prof-envelopes¶prof-envelopes makes histograms showing the range of variation available on observable histograms from the MC runs available in the MCDIR directory (or a subset, specified with the --runsfile RUNSFILE option). This is an important tool for ascertaining whether the sampled MC parameter space is ever going to be capable of describing certain observables: some tuning problems lie in the models or the param sampling ranges. 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. By default all the MC runs found in the MCDIR will be used, and all the observables in those runs. The --runsfile RUNSFILE option may be used to obtain envelope plots for specified subsets of the available runs, and the --obsfile OBSFILE can be used to restrict the observables to be plotted. The formats of these files are the usual ones: one space-separated run combination, or observable path per line. By default the complete envelope of all runs is used; this may be adapted to e.g. the 68% central band of the runs, by using e.g. --cl 68. The output format of the envelope histograms is in the Rivet make-plots script’s .dat format and can be plotted with that script. Example¶Simple example: plot the fully-inclusive MC envelopes for all-runs, and for all available observables: prof-envelopes --data /my/data
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.
