Member Function Documentation

CreateEqualFrequency()

Binning CreateEqualFrequency ( const std::vector< float > &  data, const std::vector< float > &  weights, const std::vector< bool > &  isSignal, unsigned int  nBins  )

static

Create an equal frequency (aka equal-statistics) binning.

Parameters

data	data-points sampled from the distribution
weights	weights for each data-point
isSignal	per data point
nBins	number of bins

Definition at line 93 of file Binning.cc.

CreateEquidistant()

Binning CreateEquidistant ( const std::vector< float > &  data, const std::vector< float > &  weights, const std::vector< bool > &  isSignal, unsigned int  nBins  )

static

Create an equidistant binning.

Parameters

data	data-points sampled from the distribution
weights	weights for each data-point
isSignal	per data point
nBins	number of bins

Definition at line 139 of file Binning.cc.

getBin()

unsigned int getBin

(

float

datapoint

)

const

Gets the bin corresponding to the given datapoint.

There are no overflow/underflow bins, so data points outside the original range are mapped to the first and last bin.

Parameters

datapoint

for which the bin is returned
