JetCorr Follow-Up [09.24.2018] -- Pearson Coefficients
Following discussion both during the weekly JetCorr pwg meeting on the 24th of September (see link below) and offline with Raghav Elayavalli, I've plotted the Pearson Coefficients for 4 different cases.

This is part of an ongoing investigation to why the SVD unfolding algorithm performs so poorly for us (we usually don't achieve satisfactory results until k ~ 11, the no. of bins we have to unfold...). Below are some links to earlier entries, including closure tests and plots of the singular values of the response matrix.

To try to get an idea what's going on, I unfolded our 9 - 11 GeV pi0-triggered data (R = 0.2, charged jets) 4 times: twice with the Bayesian algorithm (k = 4) using a response calculated from the Run9 dijet embedding sample and an approximation of that response generated in Pythia8; and twice with the SVD algorithm (k = 11) using those same responses. Below are the resulting Pearson Coefficients. [Special thanks to Raghav for providing the code to calculate the coefficients!]
Plots of the response matrices and jet-matching efficiencies are attached, as are the relevant ROOT files.
