Simple and statistically sound recommendations for analysing physical theories
Shehu S. AbdusSalam, Fruzsina J. Agocs, Benjamin C. Allanach +72
Physical theories that depend on many parameters or are tested against data from many different experiments pose unique challenges to statistical inference. Many models in particle…
GAMBIT: The Global and Modular Beyond-the-Standard-Model Inference Tool
The GAMBIT Collaboration, Peter Athron, Csaba Balazs +29
We describe the open-source global fitting package GAMBIT: the Global And Modular Beyond-the-Standard-Model Inference Tool. GAMBIT combines extensive calculations of observables an…
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…
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…
