Practical Statistics for the LHC
arXiv:1503.07622
Abstract
This document is a pedagogical introduction to statistics for particle physics. Emphasis is placed on the terminology, concepts, and methods being used at the Large Hadron Collider. The document addresses both the statistical tests applied to a model of the data and the modeling itself.
presented at the 2011 European School of High-Energy Physics, Cheile Gradistei, Romania, 7-20 September 2011 I expect to release updated versions of this document in the future
