overflow and underflow

Hi,

MadAnalysis 5 generates root files compliant with the root syntax. I recommend you to have a look to the root website for more information (everything is explained in great details in there). For the short version:
 - you required the generation of a histogram made of 10 bins. Therefore, MadAnalysis generated a root macro in which a histogram with 10 bins is filled (you can check the bin values in the provided snippet of code).
 - The "underflow" and "overflow" lines correspond to the underflow and overflow bins (so that 12 bins are filled in total, as visible from the snippet of code you pasted).
 - The values consist in what came out of the event file that has been analysed.

Regards,

Benjamin

Thank you so much. But what I really wonder is why overflow and underflow is made, even though I set 10 bin.
And please teach me the root cite about overflow and underflow more specifically. After reading your answer, I find
information of overflow and underflow in the root cite of Cern, but I couldn't find the information finally...

Thank you so much

Hi,

This information is actually availalbe everywhere on the web… it is when one has histogram entries lying outside the selected x-axis range.

Cheers,

Benjamin
