Systematic naming

[jshahinian]

One of the steps for validating pyhf against ROOT is comparing nuisance parameters, which unfortunately involves some translation of the NP names.

To that end, it looks like one of these duplicated lines should be for "shape" systematics.

https://github.com/pyhf/pyhf-validation/blob/master/scripts/compare_nuisance.py#L37-L38

In my specific use case, this did the trick (but not sure how robust this is for other workspaces):
.replace("gamma_shape_", "shape_")

@jshahinian do you have the xml or that as an example.. I think it's just some of the systematic names have "shape" in your workspace

Hi @lukasheinrich,

Sure, here's an xml example:
/afs/cern.ch/work/j/jshahini/public/forLukas/NormalMeasurement_SRee_eMT2a_hghmet_cuts.xml

Sorry in advance if this is just an artifact of our specific naming scheme.

it seems it is

<ShapeSys Name="shape_fakes_stat_fakes_SRee_eMT2a_hghmet_obs_cuts"

but we should support ShapeSys in that script - i'll try to prep a PR
