pyhf.simplemodels.correlated_background

pyhf.simplemodels.correlated_background(signal, bkg, bkg_up, bkg_down, batch_size=None, validate=True, poi_name='mu')[source]

Construct a simple single channel Model with a histosys modifier representing a background with a fully correlated bin-by-bin uncertainty.

Parameters:

  • signal (list) – The data in the signal sample.

  • bkg (list) – The data in the background sample.

  • bkg_up (list) – The background sample under an upward variation corresponding to \(\alpha=+1\).

  • bkg_down (list) – The background sample under a downward variation corresponding to \(\alpha=-1\).

  • batch_size (None or int) – Number of simultaneous (batched) Models to compute.

  • validate (bool) – If True, validate the model before returning. Only set this to False if you have an experimental use case and know what you’re doing.

  • poi_name (str) – The Model parameter of interest name. Defaults to "mu".

Returns:

The statistical model adhering to the model.json schema.

Return type:

Model

Changed in version 0.8.0: Added poi_name argument.
