This PR introduces a new function to the CombineHarvester that returns the templates for the processes in the harvester instance after setting the individual nuisance parameters to their post-fit values, respectively. (The idea is very similar to PR #268 ) The templates are saved as a map of the format
where
param_name
is the name of the nuisance parameter. The map also contains the prefit shape and the complete post-fit shape when considering all nuisance parameters simultaneously. The PR also introduces the bindings for the python interface, where this information is accessible as a python dictionary.This information can be used to further analyze and understand how individual nuisances impact certain processes, e.g. by looping through the bins and processes:
The templates can be used e.g. to create figures such as this:
These plots were used in the analysis HIG-19-011 to better understand and validate the statistical model and might be interesting for other analyses
