Introduction

The user can find pre-defined IceCube log-likelihood analyses in “i3skyllh” project.

Setup

To set-up and run an analysis the following procedure applies:

1. Create an analysis instance.

2. Add the datasets and their PDF ratio instances via the add_dataset() method.

3. Construct the log-likelihood ratio function via the construct_llhratio() method.

4. Call the do_trial() or unblind() method to perform a random trial or to unblind the data. Both methods will fit the global fit parameters using the set up data. Finally, the test statistic is calculated via the calculate_test_statistic() method.
