All files that you should need to edit are in

• Define files, constraints, variables (relatively hard coded, in principle only add new info, dont modify)
  • modules/variables.py: list of all variables, modify if you want to define a new variable, e.g. 'mstau1 - mneu1'
  • modules/lhood_dict.py : setup likelihood information, together with 'reprocessing/lhoods/lookups/...'
  • modules/constraint_dict.py: list of all gaussian constraints, modify if you want to add NEW constraints, e.g. Mh_2013
  • models/*: files that contain constraint lists, build up from the names in modules/lhood_dict.py and modules/constraint_dict.py
  • modules/file_dict.py: here we define input files, and their attributes, e.g. the model files in models/*,to be used in both recalculations and histogram generation
• Used at the level of execution (switches)
  • config/files.py : define which set of files in modules/file_dict.py we use in EntryHistos.py, DataHistos.py, Point.py, SmoothSplines.py
  • config/plots.py : define which histograms to make (for both best fit and contribution analyses), also define the standard variable names and indices
  • config/smooth_coordinates.py : define which histogram from which file to smooth: specify range and number of smoothing

• EntryHistos.py fill and save histograms that contain the entry numbers corresponding to the best points in each of the spaces specified in config/plots.py for files specified in histo_files() in config/files.py.
• DataHistos.py create histograms containing the Χ^2/ p(Χ^2,ndof) / ΔΧ^2 / Contribution / Prediction data of the spaces specified in config/plots.py for files specified in histo_files() in config/files.py.
• Point.py get information of points
  • the best point in entry histogram given inputs: ./Point.py -c "m0=500" "m12=1000",
  • the best fit point: ./Point.py -b
  • the point corresponding to entry number n: ./Point.py -n 12345
• RecalculateChi2.py recalculates the X^2 contributions for all the individual contraints as well as the total, for each point in parameter space. There are X^2 from 'constraints' and 'likelihood functions'. Their values have to be modified in 'modules/constraint_dict.py' and ['modules/lhood_dict.py' & 'reprocessing/lhoods/lookups/...' ]
• Test.py provides the ability to test the chi2 contribution for individual points for a single likelihood/constraint. Usage:
  • ./Test.py --constraint mtop_MC7 174.2
  • ./Test.py --likelihood CMSalphaT1.6 100 100
• SmoothSplines.py uses the ROOT functionality to smooth 1D histograms, given ranges and number of smoothing in config/smooth_coordinates.py. histo_files() in config/files.py specifies the file that is used, and config/plots.py which histograms are smoothed.

Note, as much as reasonable we try to follow the PEP 8 Style Guide.

The main exception to this is implementing ROOT interfaces where leading we use their style of AlternatingCase for all member functions.
