Clarify which uncertainties `convolute` and `pdfunc` shows #99

Closed cschwan closed 2 years ago

cschwan commented 2 years ago

The subcommand convolute shows the two columns neg unc and pos unc, but it's not clear what this uncertainty is, see also https://github.com/NNPDF/runcards/pull/121#issuecomment-1010768710. We need to reflect that this shows the scale uncertainty.

Instead of unc an alternative name might be var (for variation, same number of letters). Other, less appealing alternatives (to me) are: scvar (more letters), scv (barely comprehensible).

In any case, I believe we can call it in whatever way, the important thing is just to document the command, with a one/two-lines explanation of what are the fields (in the CLI help).

cschwan commented 2 years ago

I prefer it more explicitly: scale uncertainty and PDF uncertainty. By using two columns for these labels we only waste two characters in the first case and none in the second case.
