15 Outline 1 Introduction Building the morph p.d.f. Calculation of weights for one morph parameter Construction of morph p.d.f. Extending the morph to a second parameter Changing the basis 3 Proof-of-principle: Determination of msugra parameters 4 Comparison of different morphing techniques 5 Conclusion and Prospects Stefan Gadatsch (U. Siegen) Statistics Forum December, 9 7

16 Calculation of weights for one morph parameter Consider an arbitrary function f(x; m), depending on a parameter m and a set of observables x. Taylor expansion at the point m i f(x; m i ) = f(x; m ) + ( m i ) f (x; m ) 1! + ( m i ) f (x; m )! +... (1) with m i = m i m.... and as vectorial equation for several reference points f(x; m ) f(x; m ) 1 f(x; m 1 ) f = f(x; m ) = 1 ( m 1 ) ( m 1 ) f (x; m ) 1 ( m ) ( m ) 1! f (x; m ) = M f !. () Inverting this equation yields to f = M 1 f (3) Stefan Gadatsch (U. Siegen) Statistics Forum December, 9 8

17 Calculation of weights for one morph parameter Calculate the value of f at a new point m n+1 : 1 ( m n+1 ) f(x; m n+1 ) = ( m n+1 ). T f(x; m ) M 1 f(x; m 1 ). f(x; m n ) (4) Fractions for shifting functions 1 ( m) c i = ( m). T n 1 M 1 ( = M 1 ) ji ( m)j where j= c i = 1 i (5) Note that c i (m j ) = δ ij for a point included in the input templates. Stefan Gadatsch (U. Siegen) Statistics Forum December, 9 9

18 Construction and normalization of morph p.d.f. For each p.d.f. p i (x; m) also shift mean and rms for every observable in the set of p.d.f.s. Apply a linear transformation to the observables to get their values at the new point. Add the shifted p.d.f.s weighted with the fractions c i. Definition of morph p.d.f. p(x; m) = i c i (m) p i [a i (m) x + b i (m)] pi [a i (m) x + b i (m)]dx (6) Usually normalization time-consuming for arbitrary p.d.f.s which do not have an analytical integral, but owing to the construction of RooMomentMorph very fast. Calculation of p goes linearly with the number of templates. Easily extendable to two and more morph parameters. Stefan Gadatsch (U. Siegen) Statistics Forum December, 9 1

19 Extending the morph to a second parameter Analogical to the 1D case. Here two dimensional Taylor expansion for an arbitrary function f(x; m 1,m ) at the point (m 1i,m i ): f(x; m 1i,m i ) = f(x; m 1,m ) + 1 [ ( m 1i ) f(x; m 1,m ) 1! m 1 ] + ( m i ) f(x; m 1,m ) + 1 m! [...] +... (7) Writing the expansions for n m = k reference points as vectorial equation yields the searched fractions. Searched fractions for the D fully non-linear setting c i = n m 1 j= ( M 1 ) ji ( m) j (8) Stefan Gadatsch (U. Siegen) Statistics Forum December, 9 11

20 Changing the basis Write f(m) = i c i Ψ i in an arbitrary basis Ψ i. Fractions can be written in terms of this new basis f(m)ψ i (m)dm = c i (9) assuming Ψ i to be an orthonormal set. Substituting f(m) = i d i(m)f(m i ) in (9) yields f(m) [ ] f(m j ) Ψ i (m )dm Ψ j (m) j i m j (1) Fractions in a new basis Ψ i d i (m) = Ψ i (m )dm Ψ j (m) (11) i m j Not yet implemented, but think of using eg. Bernstein polynomials. Stefan Gadatsch (U. Siegen) Statistics Forum December, 9 1

22 Extraction of SUSY parameters SUSY parameters have so far been extracted by studying (set of) kinematic edge measurements. Interpretation of measurements assumes specific SUSY particle decay chains. Inclusive measurements: shapes not studied for SUSY parameter constraints only cross-sections are used.

36 Comparison of different morphing techniques Morphing is not an unique technique. Several ways to do. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, so you cannot say which one is right or wrong! What else is on the market? Linear interpolation of histograms by A.L. Read.

39 Conclusion and Prospects Implemented and validated a new technique based on weighted template morphing. Very promising first results. Designed to make heavy use of latest RooFit caching technology (RooWorkspaces). Should be easy to extend morph up to > 1 templates, w/ several observables and fit parameters. Plan to integrate with other techniques developed by CERN-SUSY group, eg. TILES method. Plan to include x-section information in SUSY parameter fit. One fit parameter case available in ROOT 5.5/4, called RooMomentMorph. Two parameter fit available, working on n-dimensional fit parameter case. Stefan Gadatsch (U.
