Statistical Methods for Data AnalysisWith Applications in Particle Physics\nAuthor(s): Luca Lista\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer International Publishing AG\nISBN-13: 9783031199332, 978-3031199332\nSynopsis\nThis third edition expands on the original material. Large portions of the text have been reviewed and clarified. More emphasis is devoted to machine learning including more modern concepts and examples. This book provides the reader with the main concepts and tools needed to perform statistical analyses of experimental data, in particular in the field of high-energy physics (HEP).\n\nIt starts with an introduction to probability theory and basic statistics, mainly intended as a refresher from readers advanced undergraduate studies, but also to help them clearly distinguish between the Frequentist and Bayesian approaches and interpretations in subsequent applications. Following, the author discusses Monte Carlo .
