The argument data
collects the data for which we want to test if deviations occur from the postulated model specified in the argument g
. As in Algeri, 2019, the sample specified under data
corresponds to the source-free sample in the background calibration phase and to the physics sample in the signal search phase.
The value M
selected determines the smoothness of the estimated comparison density, with smaller values of M leading to smoother estimates. The deviance test is used to select the value M
which leads to the most significant deviation from the postulated model. The default value for Mmax
is set to 20. Notice that numerical issues may
arise for larger values of Mmax
.
