pyhf implementation of the ABCD method for background estimation

Instructions for lxplus

The code can be run on lxplus by following the instruction given below.

First, set up your environment with default version of python 3:

setupATLAS
lsetup "python pilot-default"

Then create a virtual python environment:

python3 -m venv env

This will create a directory named env which will contain all the necessary packages to run the code. Activate the virtual python environment with the following command:

source env/bin/activate

Any moment, you can shut down the virtual python environment with the bash command deactivate. You can later reactivate the environment by setting up the necessary python version on lxplus and run the bash command source env/bin/activate.

To run the code, you will have to download the necessary packages in the python environment (this only need to be done once):

pip install numpy matplotlib pyhf[contrib] iminuit

You can then use the package in python (in the src folder):

from abcd_pyhf import ABCD
