Functional statistical inference of parton distributions

Abstract

Bialek, Callan and Strong have recently given a solution of the problem of determining a continuous probability distribution from a finite set of experimental measurements by formulating it as a one-dimensional quantum field theory. This report applies an extension of their formalism to the inference of functional parton distributions from scattering data.
