FisherInformation
(filename, include_nuisance_parameters=True)[source]¶ Bases:
madminer.analysis.DataAnalyzer
Functions to calculate expected Fisher information matrices.
After inializing a FisherInformation instance with the filename of a MadMiner file, different information matrices can be calculated:
- FisherInformation.calculate_fisher_information_full_truth() calculates the full truth-level Fisher information. This is the information in an idealized measurement where all parton-level particles with their charges, flavours, and four-momenta can be accessed with perfect accuracy.
- FisherInformation.calculate_fisher_information_full_detector() calculates the full Fisher information in realistic detector-level observations, estimated with neural networks. In addition to the MadMiner file, this requires a trained SALLY or SALLINO estimator as well as an unweighted evaluation sample.
- FisherInformation.calculate_fisher_information_rate() calculates the Fisher information in the total cross section.
- FisherInformation.calculate_fisher_information_hist1d() calculates the Fisher information in the histogram of one (parton-level or detector-level) observable.
- FisherInformation.calculate_fisher_information_hist2d() calculates the Fisher information in a two-dimensional histogram of two (parton-level or detector-level) observables.
- FisherInformation.histogram_of_fisher_information() calculates the full truth-level Fisher information in different slices of one observable (the “distribution of the Fisher information”).
Finally, don’t forget that in the presence of nuisance parameters the constraint terms also affect the Fisher information. This term is given by FisherInformation.calculate_fisher_information_nuisance_constraints().
Parameters: - filename : str
Path to MadMiner file (for instance the output of madminer.delphes.DelphesProcessor.save()).
- include_nuisance_parameters : bool, optional
If True, nuisance parameters are taken into account. Default value: True.

calculate_fisher_information_full_detector
(self, theta, model_file, unweighted_x_sample_file=None, luminosity=300000.0, include_xsec_info=True, mode='score', calculate_covariance=True, batch_size=100000, test_split=0.2)[source]¶ Calculates the full Fisher information in realistic detector-level observations, estimated with neural networks. In addition to the MadMiner file, this requires a trained SALLY or SALLINO estimator.
Nuisance parameter are taken into account automatically if the SALLY / SALLINO model was trained with them.
Parameters: - theta : ndarray
Parameter point theta at which the Fisher information matrix I_ij(theta) is evaluated.
- model_file : str
Filename of a trained local score regression model that was trained on samples from theta (see madminer.ml.Estimator).
- unweighted_x_sample_file : str or None
Filename of an unweighted x sample that is sampled according to theta and obeys the cuts (see madminer.sampling.SampleAugmenter.extract_samples_train_local()). If None, the Fisher information is instead calculated on the full, weighted samples (the data in the MadMiner file). Default value: None.
- luminosity : float, optional
Luminosity in pb^-1. Default value: 300000.
- include_xsec_info : bool, optional
Whether the rate information is included in the returned Fisher information. Default value: True.
- mode : {“score”, “information”}, optional
How the ensemble uncertainty on the kinematic Fisher information is calculated. If mode is “information”, the Fisher information for each estimator is calculated individually and only then are the sample mean and covariance calculated. If mode is “score”, the sample mean is calculated for the score for each event. Default value: “score”.
- calculate_covariance : bool, optional
If True, the covariance between the different estimators is calculated. Default value: True.
- batch_size : int, optional
Batch size. Default value: 100000.
- test_split : float or None, optional
If unweighted_x_sample_file is None, this determines the fraction of weighted events used for evaluation. If None, all events are used (this will probably include events used during training!). Default value: 0.2.
Returns: - fisher_information : ndarray or list of ndarray
Estimated expected full detector-level Fisher information matrix with shape (n_parameters, n_parameters). If more then one value ensemble_vote_expectation_weight is given, this is a list with results for all entries in ensemble_vote_expectation_weight.
- fisher_information_uncertainty : ndarray or list of ndarray or None
Covariance matrix of the Fisher information matrix with shape (n_parameters, n_parameters, n_parameters, n_parameters). If more then one value ensemble_vote_expectation_weight is given, this is a list with results for all entries in ensemble_vote_expectation_weight.
