Hey all, I’m fairly new to TMVA so sorry if this is a basic question, I could not find the answer for this anywhere else.
I’m working with BDT and I am struggling to understand the output. At the end of the output log file, I am being told a Separation value and the corresponding significance. How is this separation value calculated. Is this just the value with the highest purity?
Thanks!
EDIT: Or is it just the value with the highest significance given by mvaeffs.C?
Hi,
I am not sure exactly on which output and separation value you are referring to. Can you please elaborate more, quoting exactly the information that the algorithm provides to you
