Multivariate Analysis from a Statistical Point of View

Multivariate Analysis is an increasingly common tool in experimental high energy physics; however, many of the common approaches were borrowed from other fields. We clarify what the goal of a multivariate algorithm should be for the search for a new particle and compare different approaches. We also...

description Multivariate Analysis is an increasingly common tool in experimental high energy physics; however, many of the common approaches were borrowed from other fields. We clarify what the goal of a multivariate algorithm should be for the search for a new particle and compare different approaches. We also translate the Neyman-Pearson theory into the language of statistical learning theory.
