ReMU - Response Matrix Utilities

ReMU is a framework for response matrices in cross-section measurements and general counting experiments. It offers functions to build response matricesi, and use them to compare truth-space expectation values with actual experimental results in reconstructed space.

Systematic uncertainties about the detector response can be included in the matrices. Done correctly, this enables anyone to test arbitrary models against data that was published together with a response matrix, including systematic detector effects. Intimate knowledge of the detector is only needed to build the response matrix, not to use it.
