RooStats example

The afternoon session is aimed to introduce the very basics of the RooFit framework to the participants in order to apply them during the advanced lectures.
We plan to cover the following topics :

• • RooFit Variables definition.
  • Build an arbitrary PDF.
  • Generate events according to a PDF.
  • Perform a binned/unbinned fit of data using the Maximum Likelihood Method.
  • Quantify goodness of fit for binned and unbinned fits.
