hi, im trying to apply weights to each of my events for each branch sample

void W(){
    
  gStyle->SetOptStat(1111);// untk print no of events

however this is my output

im not sure where i went wrong,
thankyou

Hi,

are you sure this line does what you want it to do?

The TTree::GetEntry() returns the number of bytes, not some meaningful value written in some branch inside that TTree of yours.

i went through Event-by-event weighting and saving as a branch at TTree - #3 by saurm but it doesnt seem like a good example

Long64_t nentries = tree1->GetEntries(); //get total number of enteries
 for(Long64_t i=0; i< nentries; i++){ // loop over all of them
	 tree1->GetEntry(i); // Load the data for TTree entry number "i" from branch
	 D_ETA_w = D_ETA * weight;
	 newb->Fill();

i dont understand how

tree1->GetEntry(i);

correlates with

D_ETA_w = D_ETA * weight;

also in this case it draws the tree, but n my case i want to weight each event, so im not sure what variable is should fill in,
h->Fill(variable, weight)
and stack the histograms,

do you have any suggestion how i may fix this?
thankyou!

Hi,

the first line, tree1->GetEntry(i) basically makes the jump to the next entry in your TTree. Whatever variables you use after this point will be populated with information from this new entry. So by doing D_ETA_w = D_ETA * weight in that example they reread the values D_ETA and weight from that new entry and calculate their product. So in your case instead of

sig20w->Fill(sig20->GetEntry(i), signal_weight);

you need to fill some value (I don’t know which one, but definitely not the sig20->GetEntry(i) as it makes no sense). The weight seems to be correct as it’s just a constant which does not depend on whatever you may have in your TTree.
