Dear experts,
I'm using pyhf for my B -> Xu l nu via weak annihilation study at Belle II. I'm running some toy studies and observe some biases in the fits. I've uploaded a small spec here.
[Edit: my question on toys was answered here: https://hep-physics.rockefeller.edu/~luc/technical_reports/cdf5776_pulls.pdf]
Running my fit on the toys, I observe biases which seem to be related to certain nuisance parameters. In the spec attached in the gist I have included just one nuisance parameter,
ff_Omega[3]
which is one such problematic parameter. Generating 10000 toys and plotting the pulls I find an odd structure:Which seems to have caused biases in my two parameters of interest,
mu_wa_charged
, andmu_wa_mixed
.I'm a little lost as to what causes this bias. The change in shape to the
Xulnu
template caused by the nuisance parameter is similar to the shape of theWA_Charged/Mixed
samples but I would expect this to just be associated with a large uncertainty as the fit cannot distinguish between the weak annihilation events and changes to this form factor.I would also naively expect the structure in the
ff_Omega[3]
pulls to be somewhat mirrored in the weak annihilation yields rather than a biased but still normal distribution.I'm unsure where to go from here, any tips or tricks to fix this bias would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Marcel
Edit:
To add some more information, the fitted central values look correct, like a correlated multi-normal distribution as expected. The errors however seem to group into two clusters, depending on the fitted value of the
ff_Omega[3]
nuisance parameter.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
