Miniworkshop on Statistical Tools

Thursday 19 Jun 2008, 12:00 → 17:50 Europe/Berlin

Sem. 2 (DESY)

Claus Kleinwort (DESY), Olaf Behnke (DESY), Stefan Schmitt (DESY)

This is the first workshop on statistical tools in the Terascale alliance. It is devoted to three issues expected to be relevant for data analyses at ATLAS and CMS: 1. Optimal Signal/Background Separation 2. Likelihood fits e.g. for determination of signals and model parameters 3. Limits determination Evo Details see: http://www.terascale.de/research_topics/rt1_physics_analysis/statistics_tools
