The HistFactory p.d.f. template [CERN-OPEN-2012-016] is per-se independent of its implementation in ROOT and sometimes, it’s useful to be able to run statistical analysis outside of ROOT, RooFit, RooStats framework.

This repo is a pure-python implementation of that statistical model for multi-bin histogram-based analysis and its interval estimation is based on the asymptotic formulas of “Asymptotic formulae for likelihood-based tests of new physics” [arXiv:1007.1727]. The aim is also to support modern computational graph libraries such as PyTorch and TensorFlow in order to make use of features such as autodifferentiation and GPU acceleration.

Hello World

>>> import pyhf
>>> pdf = pyhf.simplemodels.hepdata_like(signal_data=[12.0, 11.0], bkg_data=[50.0, 52.0], bkg_uncerts=[3.0, 7.0])
>>> CLs_obs, CLs_exp = pyhf.infer.hypotest(1.0, [51, 48] + pdf.config.auxdata, pdf, return_expected=True)
>>> print('Observed: {}, Expected: {}'.format(CLs_obs, CLs_exp))
Observed: [0.05290116], Expected: [0.06445521]

What does it support

Implemented variations:
  • ☑ HistoSys

  • ☑ OverallSys

  • ☑ ShapeSys

  • ☑ NormFactor

  • ☑ Multiple Channels

  • ☑ Import from XML + ROOT via uproot

  • ☑ ShapeFactor

  • ☑ StatError

A two bin example

bin 1: nobs = 100, b = 100, db = 15., nom_sig = 30.
bin 2: nobs = 145, b = 150, db = 20., nom_sig = 45.

Installation

To install pyhf from PyPI with the NumPy backend run

python -m pip install pyhf

and to install pyhf with all additional backends run

python -m pip install pyhf[backends]

or a subset of the options.

To uninstall run

python -m pip uninstall pyhf
