  4. Global Analysis data from disparate experiments CTEQ Summer School

  5. Our treatment of systematic errors CTEQ Summer School

  6. What is a systematic error? “This is why people are so frightened of systematic errors, and most other textbooks avoid the subject altogether. You never know whether you have got them and can never be sure that you have not – like an insidious disease… The good news, however, is that despite popular prejudices and superstitions, once you know what your systematic errors are, they can be handled with standard statistical methods.” R. J. Barlow Statistics CTEQ Summer School

  7. Imagine that two experimental groups have measured a quantity  , with the results shown. OK, what is the value of  ? This is very analogous to what happens in global analysis of PDF’s. But in the case of PDF’s the systematic differences are only visible through the PDF’s. CTEQ Summer School

  8. We use 2 minimization with fitting of systematic errors. For statistical errors define Di : data value Ti : theoretical value si : statistical error Ti = Ti(a1, a2, ..,, ad)a function of d theory parameters Minimize 2 w. r. t. {am}  optimal parameter values {a0m}. All this would be based on the assumption that Di = Ti(a0) + i ri CTEQ Summer School

  9. Treatment of the normalization error In scattering experiments there is an overall normalization uncertainty from uncertainty of the luminosity. We define where fN = overall normalization factor Minimize 2 w. r. t. both {am} and fN. CTEQ Summer School

  10. A method for general systematic errors ai : statistical error of Di bij : set of systematic errors (j=1…K) of Di Define quadratic penalty term Minimize c2 with respect to both shape parameters {am} and optimized systematic shifts {sj}. CTEQ Summer School

  11. Because c2 depends quadratically on {sj} we can solve for the systematic shifts analytically, ss0(a). Then let, and minimize w.r.t {am}. The systematic shifts {sj} are continually optimized [ ss0(a) ] CTEQ Summer School

  12. So, we have accounted for … • Statistical errors • Overall normalization uncertainty (by fitting {fN,e}) • Other systematic errors (analytically) We may make further refinements of the fit with weighting factors Default : we and wN,e = 1 The spirit of global analysis is compromise – the PDF’s should fit all data sets satisfactorily. If the default leaves some experiments unsatisfied, we may be willing to reduce the quality of fit to some experiments in order to fit better another experiment. (However, we use this trick sparingly!) CTEQ Summer School
