Date:
2018/Sep to 2019/Jan
Location: classroom R716, New Physics Building, NTU
and vidyo hyperspace
This
is a course design for particle physics major student, and is
going to discuss the following topics in detail. We plan to
have 60% of the course time allocated for classical lectures
and have 40% of the time discussing about several
close-to-real examples.
- Probability and Random Numbers
- Bayesian and Frequentist approaches
- Multivariate analysis
- Parameter estimation
- Hypothesis test
- Upper limits
Materials used in 2017 is available here.
