That all makes sense. Does that leave me with no way of producing background subtracted mass plots, or is renormalizing the signal region appropriate?
I don’t see how to make a background-subtracted mass plot. The s-plot only works for variables that are uncorrelated to the variable to derive the s weight. The mass is obviously 100% self-correlated.
When you plot now, you see at least the signal shape. If you renormalise, you in a sense take out the s weights, which means to plot the s-weighted variable itself.
So no, I don’t see a way to get a mass plot with s weights.
