Dear experts,
I really need your help! I must say that I’m rather new in using RooFit, but I’m experiencing the following problem: I would like to do a signal-over-background fit, where the background is defined as a RooProdPdf between a function (called “transfer function” TF) and a RooHistPdf (obtained from the so-called “control region”). The signal is instead a RooHistPdf obtained from a ROOT histo.
If I fix the parameters of TF the fit works and I obtain the number of expected events for background and signal, but when I try to leave the TF parameters free (which btw is my goal) I get absurd results!
I was thinking that maybe there is something that I’m mistaking when dealing with RooProdPdf, otherwise, I really don’t know what’s happening.
Thanks for your help, really much appreciated!
Cheers,
Davide
P.S.: I’m posting my code, let me know if there are some serious errors
