redistpy 1.0.5

Package for reinterpretation of particle physics results

A novel reinterpretation method for high-energy physics results.

Overview

This is the implementation of a reweighing method for the reinterpretation of binned analyses in high energy physics. The method is based on calculating the change in the distributions of observables, given changes in the decay channel's kinematic distributions.

Check out the paper here.

Installation

You can install redist from pypi

pip install redistpy

Manual installation

You can install manually with

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/lorenzennio/redist.git

# Install
pip install -e redist

Dependencies

This implementation is based on the pyhf software for statistical inference. The examples use the EOS software to calculate theoretical predictions.

Bayesian inference (optional)

If you want to perform Bayesian inference with redist (or pyhf) you'll need to install bayesian_pyhf.

You can do so with::

pip install git+https://github.com/malin-horstmann/bayesian_pyhf.git

For visualization of the posterior distribution, corner is very useful:

pip install corner
