 **2)** Make the trees really flat without vectors and set variables that are not defined for a given vertex category to a default value.

 +**1)** Make the trees really flat without vectors and set variables that are not defined for a given vertex category to a default value. For this, run your ntuples through **createNewTree.py** which will produce sets of new flat ntuples split in event range such as //CombinedSVV2NoVertex_DUSG_0_249999.root// with the shared tree name //"tree"//
 +
 +**2)** The evaluation trees can be skimmed as well to make the evaluation process faster. The script **skimTT.py** will reference the event ranges in the file names for the flat trees and copy new skimmed trees that contain 10% (this can easily be modified) of the events from each of the flavour/category files. The output will be one combined root file for each flavour/category such as //CombinedSVV2NoVertex_DUSG.root//.
 +
 +*//Remember not to use the same skimming process for the evaluation as done for the training since one wants to keep the physical vertex category distribution for the process in the evaluation.//
 +
 +**3)** Create the vertex category weights for the training samples with **biasTTbar.C** and save the output to a text file such as //BiasDump.txt//.
