Ground state mass in short lattices by controlling overconfidence and bias in Bayesian fits
arXiv:1910.11384 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/128/11003
Abstract
We investigate the seemingly ill-defined problem of extracting a ground-state mass from a lattice simulation where the extent of the lattice is not long enough to project out the ground-state properly. We regulate the problem using a Bayesian method. We show that controlling meta-parameters (overconfidence) can allow the data to overcome the input priors (bias). We can write the method as a black-box technique which allows extraction of a ground-state mass, even on a relatively short lattice.
