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.utils.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]
