Dear experts,
I am testing the model creation using both HistPdfs and HistFactory (thinking of using only the last at the end), as a first step, I am fitting a simple model sS+bB in RooFit, creating the models using the two methods mentioned above, I am using the same templates and same pseudo data, I tested 50 different pseudo data experiments and I made the fit in each case, I found that 27 of the cases the status of the fit is different from 0 for the case of HistFactory model creation (only 1 failed in Histpdf model creation).
For this, I compare the results of the yield between the HistFactory and Histpdf models, I found that the yields are the same in the case that the status is 0 for HistFactory, for the 27 cases of status different from 0, in 10 cases the yields are the same and 17 not.
This gives me the idea that I am really working with the same models in both cases, but I do not understand the differences that HistFactory is bringing to my model, I hope someone can help me with this.
- Why do I have different statues 70, 140, and 144?
- In the model creation with HistFactory there are other constant terms, for example, binWidth, in my case, the output says 25 but this doesn’t make much sense to me, could you please explain more who is this term affecting the model?
Constant Parameter Value
-------------------- ------------
Lumi 1.0000e+00
binWidth_obs_x_channel1_obs_y_channel1_0 2.5000e+01
binWidth_obs_x_channel1_obs_y_channel1_1 2.5000e+01
nominalLumi 1.0000e+00
Floating Parameter InitialValue FinalValue (+HiError,-LoError) GblCorr.
-------------------- ------------ ---------------------------------- --------
n_bkg 2.1000e+01 2.1269e+01 (+0.00e+00,-5.47e+00) <none>
n_sig 0.0000e+00 -2.6654e-01 (+4.05e+00,--0.00e+00) <none>
For one case, I attached the two models, the histograms and the fit outputs. For the 50 cases the tables analyzing the status results and differences.
Thank you in advance

By the way I am using 6.22/00 maybe the release have something to do?
