A Test for Equality of Distributions in High Dimensions
Wolfgang Rolke, Angel Lopez
We present a method which tests whether or not two datasets (one of which could be Monte Carlo generated) might come from the same distribution. Our method works in arbitrarily hig…
Limits, discovery and cut optimization for a Poisson process with uncertainty in background and signal efficiency: TRolke 2.0
J. Lundberg, J. Conrad, W. Rolke +1
A C++ class was written for the calculation of frequentist confidence intervals using the profile likelihood method. Seven combinations of Binomial, Gaussian, Poissonian and Binomi…
A Test for the Presence of a Signal, with Multiple Channels and Marked Poisson
Wolfgang A. Rolke, Angel M. Lopez
We describe a statistical hypothesis test for the presence of a signal based on the likelihood ratio statistic. We derive the test for a special case of interest. We study extensio…
A Test for the Presence of a Signal
Wolfgang A. Rolke, Angel M. Lopez
We describe a statistical hypothesis test for the presence of a signal based on the likelihood ratio statistic. We derive the test for a case of interest and also show that for tha…
Limits and Confidence Intervals in the Presence of Nuisance Parameters
Wolfgang A. Rolke, Angel M. Lopez, Jan Conrad
We study the frequentist properties of confidence intervals computed by the method known to statisticians as the Profile Likelihood. It is seen that the coverage of these intervals…
How to Claim a Discovery
Wolfgang Rolke, Angel Lopez
We describe a statistical hypothesis test for the presence of a signal. The test allows the researcher to fix the signal location and/or width a priori, or perform a search to find…
