E.3 Input Types
An input datacard is an ASCII file containing the input values of all observables or
parameters of the fit theory given as a list. Each element of this list is again a list,
with a special syntax for each input type. For example the first element in each list
is a string, which represents the label of the observable or parameter. Attention:
Greek letters have to be written out, e. g. “delta“ for “δ“ or “Delta“ for “∆“. The
inputs datacard needs to be located in the inputs subdirectory.
Fixed
Syntax: { “label“ , value }
Example: { “delta“ , 0.0}
Gauss
Syntax: { “label“ , central value , gaussian error }
Example: { “delta“ , 0.0 , 0.1 }
Asymmetric Gauss
Syntax: { “label“ , central value , pos. gaussian error , neg. gaussian error }
Example: { “delta“ , 0.0 , +0.1 , -0.2 }
Range
Syntax: { “label“ , central value , 0 , pos. theoretical error }
Example: { “delta“ , 0.0 , 0 , 0.1 }
Gauss Range
Syntax: { “label“ , central value , pos. gaussian error , pos. theoretical error }
Example: { “delta“ , 0.0 , 0.1 , 0.1 }
Asymmetric Gauss Range
Syntax: { “label“ , c. value , neg. gauss. error , pos. gauss. error , theo. error}
Example: { “delta“ , 0.0 , +0.1 , -0.2 , 0.1 }
Look Up Table (LUT)
Syntax: { “label“ , “file name“ }
Example: { “delta“ , “delta ICHEP06.dat“ }
