Papers
This page contains two sections, the first one listing papers on statistical issues and the second one papers on experimental particle physics.
Papers on Statistical IssuesBack to Top
Pages in this section summarize papers I wrote on various statistical problems. While this work was mainly intended for an audience of experimental particle physicists, its scope is more general. The topics investigated cover hypothesis testing, confidence interval construction, fitting techniques, nuisance parameters, frequentist versus Bayesian statistics, and more.
