Use of the profile likelihood function in searches for new physics
We describe likelihood-based statistical tests for use in high energy physicsfor the discovery of new phenomena and for construction of confidence intervals.Explicit formulae for the asymptotic distributions of test statistics based onthe profile likelihood ratio are derived using results of Wilks a...
