Combining experiments with systematic errors

چکیده
We consider fits to two or more datasets for which results from the same experiment share a common systematic uncertainty in addition their individual statistical errors. This is important extracting maximum information set of similar but different experiments (or under conditions) analysing datasets, as happens at LHC and other particle colliders. Two techniques can be used: one involves inverting full covariance matrix introduces extra parameters uses only diagonal terms. show, completely general fit, that an additive they are principle equivalent even though practice details differ. For multiplicative error fit parameter if factor applied data points not it function: former leads biassed estimates latter avoids them.

Mixtures Experiments with Mixing Errors
Various properties of mixture products depend on the proportions of the components of the mixture, but not on its amount. In a mixture experiment the mixtures are prepared by mixing the required amounts of mixture components. This paper considers the impact of mixing errors on the statistical analysis of such data.
متن کاملProbabilistic Modeling of Systematic Errors in Two-Hybrid Experiments
UNLABELLED We describe a novel probabilistic approach to estimating errors in two-hybrid (2H) experiments. Such experiments are frequently used to elucidate protein-protein interaction networks in a high-throughput fashion; however, a significant challenge with these is their relatively high error rate, specifically, a high false-positive rate. We describe a comprehensive error model for 2H dat...
متن کاملExperiments with Classifier Combining Rules
A large experiment on combining classifiers is reported and discussed. It includes, both, the combination of different classifiers on the same feature set and the combination of classifiers on different feature sets. Various fixed and trained combining rules are used. It is shown that there is no overall winning combining rule and that bad classifiers as well as bad feature sets may contain val...
متن کاملMichelson-Morley Experiments Revisited: Systematic Errors, Consistency Among Differ- ent Experiments, and Compatibility with Ab- solute Space
Despite the null interpretation of their experiment by Michelson and Morley, it is quantitatively shown that the outcomes of the original experiment, and all subsequent repetitions, never were null. Additionally, due to an incorrect inter-session averaging, the non-null results are even larger than reported. Contrary to the received view, Illingworth’s and other repetitions of the experiment we...
متن کاملMedical errors in Iranian hospitals: systematic review
Background: Medical errors are those errors or mistakes committed by healthcare professionals due to errors of omission, errors in planning, and errors of execution of a planned healthcare action whether or not it is harmful to the patient. Medical error in hospitals increases morbidity and mortality and decreases patient satisfaction and hospital productivity. This study aimed to determine the...
