3 Higgs combination complete (p 1473 of CSC book) Describes statistical methods for combination of search channels. Applies combination to (a subset of) Higgs channels: WW eνµν (0 jet and 2 jet), γγ, ττ, ZZ(*) 4l Treats systematics by means of profile likelihood method. Considers fixed mass hypothesis; look elsewhere effect must be studied separately. NB H γγ and WW CSC notes describe floating mass fits. Some approximations used for discovery/exclusion significance. Valid for L > 2 fb 1. For lower L need toy MC methods. Does not represent final word on methods other developments ongoing (Bayesian, CLs, look elsewhere effect,...) 3
4 CSC HG11 People Editors: Eilam Gross, Contacts for individual channels: WW γγ ττ 4l Note referee: Bill Quayle Yaquan Fang Kyle Cranmer Andrea Di Simone Fabiola Gianotti Chapter referees: Chapter editors: Fabio Cerutti, Bruno Mansoulie Rachid Mazini, Bill Murray + e.g. Louis Fayard, Aleandro Nisati, Karl Jakobs, Dave Charlton, Ofer Vitells... 4
5 Reminder of combination method The single channel likelihood function uses Poisson model for events in signal and control histograms: θ represents all nuisance parameters, µ =1 is SM. e.g., background rate, shapes µ =0 is background only. There is a likelihood L i (µ,θ i ) for each channel, i = 1,, N. The full likelihood function is 5
6 Profile likelihood ratio To test hypothesized value of µ, construct profile likelihood ratio: Maximized L for given µ Maximized L Equivalently use q µ = 2 ln λ(µ): data agree well with hypothesized µ q µ small data disagree with hypothesized µ q µ large 6
7 p value / significance of hypothesized µ Test hypothesized µ by giving p value, probability to see data with compatibility with µ compared to data observed: Equivalently use significance: 7
8 Sampling distribution of q µ To compute p value of hypothesized µ, need distribution f (q µ µ). For 5σ discovery we need a p value of ; To estimate this using MC needs > 10 8 events. Wilk s theorem: in large sample limit f (q µ µ) should approach with w = ½. (a half chi square distribution). Validation exercise shows approximation OK for L 2 fb 1. We use the half chi square approximation in the current note; for lower luminosities we will need MC to get f (q µ µ) (feasible for exclusion limits at 95% CL). 8
9 Example from validation exercise: ZZ (*) 4l Distributions of q 0 for 2, 10 fb 1 from MC compared to ½χ 2 ½χ 2 ½χ 2 ½χ 2 ½χ 2 (One minus) cumulative distributions. Band gives 68% CL limits. 5σ level 9
10 Sensitivity Discovery: Generate data under s+b (µ = 1) hypothesis; Test hypothesis µ = 0 p value Z. Exclusion: Generate data under background only (µ = 0) hypothesis; Test hypothesis µ = 1. If µ = 1 has p value < 0.05 exclude m H at 95% CL. Estimate median significance by setting data equal to expectation values (Asimov data) or by using MC. For median, can combine significances of individual channels. For significance of e.g. a real data set, need global fit. 10
11 Combined discovery sensitivity 5 11
12 Combined discovery sensitivity vs. m H, L Approximations not reliable below 2 fb (usually conservative) 12
13 p value of SM hypothesis ( =1) vs. m H m H > 115 at 95% CL with 2 fb 13
14 Combined exclusion sensitivity vs. m H, L Approximations not reliable below 2 fb (usually conservative) 14
15 Final draft on Summary of the Higgs Combination higgs_combo_csc_28nov08.pdf CSC book imminent, we are provisionally pages 1473 to 1516 Many issues/problems identified and worked through useful. Only subset of methods explored much more work left. Method now documented, global fit tools under development. We need to learn how to do this more quickly... 15

17 Statistics Forum FAQ Notes This is a living document 17
18 Statistics Forum FAQ Notes The FAQ consists of a collection of notes on specific questions use cases, examples,... Bayesian methods for ATLAS Higgs search (GC) Comparison of significance from profile and integrated likelihoods (GC, EG) Discovery significance with statistical uncertainty in the background estimate (EG, OV, GC) Error analysis for efficiency (GC) How to measure efficiency (DC) MC statistical errors in ML fits (GC) Covariance matrix for histogram made using seed events (GC) If you have a note which you think should be included here, or if you are interested to write such a note or comment on a note or request a note on a specific subject please let us know. 18
19 Interaction with physics groups Over past year much interaction with Higgs group Combination exercise (relevant to other searches as well...) Continue to extend this to other groups (Exotics, SUSY, B Physics,...) E.g. SUSY Group (Dan T.) posed several question which we have tried to answer in notes (see FAQ Profile vs integrated likelihoods, correlations in histograms arising from resampling). Encourage talks from physics groups in Statistics Forum, e.g., Exotics Lepton+X (Luis F., ) discussions ongoing SUSY (Sascha C., today) B Physics (Emmerich K., ) ongoing Will push for further interaction written note is preferred outcome. 19
20 Joint ATLAS/CMS Statistics Forum Meetings: 25 September July September July 2007 Summer 08: agree to develop RooStats as common framework. Keep eye on ability to carry out independent validation. Key players: Kyle Cranmer (ATLAS) Gregory Schott (CMS) Wouter Verkerke (RooFit) Lorenzo Moneta (Root) Ongoing discussions on methodology Ideal is to use several methods (profile likelihood, Bayesian, Cls,...) for each result. 20
21 Summary Higgs combination exercise complete Valuable exercise especially for developing profile likelihood Time to move on Encourage interaction with all physics groups ATLAS/CMS interaction focused on RooStats ( Kyle talk next) 21
