This will be filled out soon!
 
= Introduction =
TrkQual is an artificial neural network (ANN) that evaluates the reconstruction quality of tracks. It uses certain reconstructed parameters of the track (e.g. number of hits) to separate "good" tracks from "bad" tracks and is trained on a simulation sample.
 
There are two classes of users:
* '''analyzers''': people who use the result of TrkQual in their analyses; and,
* '''trainers''': people who train and calibrate the TrkQual ANN.
 
This wiki page tries to guide both groups to accomplish the tasks they need. If this wiki page is lacking (or out of date), then additional help can be found in the usual places (hypernews, Slack, DocDB etc.).
 
= For Everyone =
There may be a few different trainings of TrkQual available. Questions to ask:
* what simulation sample was it trained on?
* what input variables are used?
* what definition of good quality and bad quality was used?
* has the output been calibrated?

== ...Using A TrkAna Tree ==
If you are using a [[TrkAna]] tree for your analysis, then there are two useful leaves that you can apply cuts to:
* '''dequal.TrkQual'''
* '''dequal.TrkQualCalib'''
which are the uncalibrated and calibrated output values respectively. Note that it is probably best to use the calibrated value, since the effect of this ''should'' stay the same even if the underlying training changes.
 
If you have configured the TrackAnalysisReco module correctly, then you may also have the branch:
* '''detrkqual'''
which contains all the input variables that were available to be trained on. Note that it is possible for some trainings to "comment-out" input variables and so it is best not to assume that ''all'' the input variables seen in this branch were used...
 
== ...Using An Art Module... ==
If you are using an art module for your analysis, then there are two data products you can use:
* '''RecoQual''', which contains the uncalibrated and calibrated output values; or,
* '''TrkQual''', which contains the values of the input variables and the uncalibrated output value.
 
Note that <code>RecoQual</code> is a general data product that can exist for other ANNs too (e.g. [[TrkPID]])
 
=== ...And RecoQual Collection ===
You can grab the <code>RecoQualCollection</code> like so:
<nowiki>auto recoQualCollsH = event.getValidHandle<RecoQualCollection>(_inputTag);
</nowiki>
 
where <code>_inputTag</code> is the <code>art::InputTag</code> for the module that produced the <code>RecoQualCollection</code> (e.g. <code>TrkQualDeM</code>).
 
You can then get the output value for each RecoQual object like this:
<nowiki>for(const auto& i_recoQual : *recoQualCollsH) {
  std::cout << "TrkQual Uncalibrated Output = " << i_trkQual._value << std::endl;
  std::cout << "TrkQual Calibrated Output = " << i_trkQual._calib << std::endl;
}
</nowiki>
Note that this is the ''uncalibrated'' output value.
=== ...And TrkQualCollection ===
You can grab the <code>TrkQualCollection</code> like so:
<nowiki>auto trkQualCollsH = event.getValidHandle<TrkQualCollection>(_inputTag);
</nowiki>
 
where <code>_inputTag</code> is the <code>art::InputTag</code> for the module that produced the <code>TrkQualCollection</code> (e.g. <code>TrkQualDeM</code>).
 
You can then get the output value for each TrkQual object like this:
<nowiki>for(const auto& i_trkQual : *trkQualCollsH) {
  std::cout << "TrkQual Output = " << i_trkQual.MVAOutput() << std::endl;
}
</nowiki>
Note that this is the ''uncalibrated'' output value.
