QuickStart

Recipe for the impatient one:

Use the supy-minimal-example and follow the README.

The configuration.py file specifies the parameters that are specific to your setup and ntuples. For a complete list of the possible parameters, see supy/defaults.py, from which the default values of the parameters that you don't specify are picked up.

The example_analysis.py file has an example of how your analysis can be organized:

• listOfSteps defines a list of steps (histograms, filters, etc.) through which your events will go
• listOfCalculables defines a list of things you want to compute for each event
• listOfSampleDictionaries defines a dictionary of sample parameters (files, lumi or xsec,...)
• listOfSamples defines a list of samples to run over
• conclude specifies what should be done after all samples have been processed

See susycaf for a more complete and advanced example.
