The current status of:
EMC histograms from BBSIM, SimApp, Bear, processed by
- QaSimTools
- QaSimAppTools
- QaRecoTools
where they are
- compared to reference histograms;
- plotted;
- used for statistical tests.
Goal: quick feedback on problems with production.
Reference histograms based on 7.11.2d available for several run types
available (Theresa Champion, 16 March 99). (Newer references?)
Some QA output can be found on the
QA for PRVO page, maintained by Theresa.
How does the EMC look and what can be improved?
- Some anomalies appear in the plots and/or statistical tests,
but many are explainable. Analysis underway. For example, reference
not always available yet from same run type (solid = tau+tau-, open =
BBbar):
- Choice of histograms under revision (although currently reasonable).
- Suggestions for statistical tests: Kolmogorov-Smirnov
overrated(!?) For example, the clear discrepancy in the tails below
is not spotted: solid points = release 7.11.1d, open points = reference
from 6.10.6a, run 071500 (J/Psi K0S). P(s) = 23.96%.
- A test is done on the normalization of the histograms. Sometimes
the result of this test does not agree with what is seen on the plots.
- Suggestions for improving summary tables, e.g. statistical
errors of computed means, standard deviations; total entries (expected,
found), etc. (-->CH.)
Much help and advice from CH. Your suggestions/assistance
(--> GC + Ajit Kurup) are appreciated.
