Handling uncertainties in background shapes: the discrete profiling method
A common problem in high energy physics is the extraction of a signal over a potentially large background. In cases where the functional form of the background is not a priori known, then some extra uncertainty must be assigned to the signal parameters because of this lack of knowledge. A method for...
