Hello,
After an unsuccessful attempt at using FDA to simulate a multiclass Fisher response (the coefficients came out as NaN), I settled on using a one versus rest scheme to expand TMVA’s Fisher binary classification. After generating weight files with CreateMVAPdfs enabled, what I would like to do now is use evaluate the rarity function using the signal PDF as opposed to the background PDF. TMVA::Reader::GetRarity() only has this available for background PDF, but with TMVA::MethodBase::GetRarity() the option I want is there. Looking at source code for classes such as TMVA::Reader I see that if I compiled code as opposed to running a macro I could be able to use something like
TMVA::MethodFisher * PengWAISHPol = dynamic_cast<TMVA::MethodFisher *>(readerPeng.FindMVA("WAISHPol"));
like I do in line 156 of the attached macro,
evaluateResponsesNew.C (17.4 KB)
However, I see from the comments on TMVA::Reader::FindCutsMVA() and in this thread that CINT doesn’t work with dynamic_cast. Is there something like TH2::Class()->DynamicCast() like mentioned in the above thread that I can use?
