Correlated Systematic Uncertainties and Errors-on-Errors in Measurement Combinations: Methodology and Application to the 7-8 TeV ATLAS-CMS Top Quark Mass Combination

Enzo Canonero, Glen Cowan

The Gamma Variance Model (GVM) is a statistical model that incorporates uncertainties in the assignment of systematic errors (informally called errors-on-errors). The model is of p…
