1 Statistical Tools in Collider Experiments Multivariate analysis in high energy physics Pauli Lectures - 06/0/01 Nicolas Chanon - ETH Zürich 1
2 Main goals of these lessons - Have an understanding of what are multivariate analyses - How they are used in high energy physics - Answer to the questions : what is a neural network? a boosted decision tree? what are the multivariate methods currently used in HEP? - Become familiar with problems related with training and application of multivariate methods - Be aware of the systematic uncertainties related to multivariate techniques - Be able to understand the results of new physics searches at Tevatron or LHC in the form where they are presented usually, and how they were produced
3 Introductory comments - In these lectures, examples will be mainly taken from Higgs boson searches at LHC - Will focus on multivariate methods commonly used in the high energy physics community - Theory will be addressed as a tool for practical usage 3
4 Exercises - Proposed exercises will follow the progress of the lecture - Problem inspired by Higgs searches in H->photons channel at LHC - Goal : be able to estimate the sensitivity of a search for a small peak over a huge background, using multivariate methods - 3 exercises : - Setting up Root and TMVA environment, TMVA basics - Using a MVA method inside the analysis - Estimation of analysis sensitivity 4
5 Outline 1.Introduction.Multivariate methods 3.Optimization of MVA methods 4.Application of MVA methods in HEP 5.Understanding Tevatron and LHC results 5
6 Lecture 1. Introduction 6
7 Content of this lecture - Introduction - Experimental problems in high energy physics - The problem : how to distinguish signal from background? - Multivariate analyses examples in HEP - At the Tevatron - At the LHC - Presentation of commonly used multivariate methods 7
8 Searching for rare signals Higgs and new physics cross-sections are small... Examples of background to H ZZ searches 5 orders of magnitude 8
9 Over huge backgrounds To achieve a discovery, huge background reduction rate needed LHC (14 TeV) - Example of H γγ : typically 9 orders of magnitude under the QCD jets background - Reducible background : jet-jet, photon-jet - Jets can be mis-identified as photons! => can be suppressed by tight photon identification criteria - Irreducible background : photon-photon - Non-resonant diphoton continuum! => Can be discriminated using kinematic properties Other NP? 9

11 Experimental issues Experimental challenges : - Detector calibration - Identification of the tracks / energy deposits in the sub-detectors - Particle reconstruction - Particle identification - Finding the vertex of hard interaction among all pile-up vertices - Discriminate the signal process against all other background processes Multivariate methods can help for that Collision with 0 pile-up events recorded with the ATLAS detector 11
12 Multivariate analysis : Definitions MultiVariate Analysis : - Set of statistical analysis methods that simultaneously analyze multiple measurements (variables) on the object studied - Variables can be dependent or correlated in various ways Classification / regression : - Classification : discriminant analysis to separate classes of events, given already known results on a training sample - Regression : analysis which provides an output variable taken into account the correlations of the input variables Statistical learning : - Supervised learning : the multivariate method is trained over a sample were the result is known (e.g. Monte-Carlo simulation of signal and background) - Unsupervised learning : no prior knowledge is required. The algorithm will cluster events in an optimal way 1
13 Event classification - Focus here on supervised learning for classification. - Use case in particle physics : signal/background discrimination - Assume we have two populations (signal and background) and two variables - How to decorrelate, what decision boundary (on X1 and X) to choose, to decide if an event is signal or background? 13
14 Event classification - Possible solutions : rectangular cuts, Fisher, non-linear contour Rectangular cuts Linear (Fisher) Non-linear 14
15 Multivariate analyses in HEP - Signal/background discrimination : - Object reconstruction : discriminate against instrumental background (electronic noise...) - Object identification : e.g. electron, bottom quark identification, to improve the rejection other objects resembling (e.g. jets) - Discriminating physics process against physics backgrounds. Many examples, e.g. single top against W+jets, H->WW against WW background... - Improving the energy measurement, via regression. Allows to narrow the reconstructed mass peak, improve the resolution. - Estimate the sensitivity of the analysis : - Sensitivity to signal exclusion or discoveries : Likelihood of the data to be consistent with background only or signal+background hypothesis - Combination of many channels! => exclusion limits or discoveries 15

24 Plenty of multivariate methods... Example of MVA methods : - Rectangular cut optimization - Fisher - Likelihood - Neural network - Decision tree - Support Vector Machine -... Characteristics : - Level of complexity and transparency - Performance in term of background rejection - Way of dealing with non-linear correlations - Speed of training - Robustness while increasing the number of input variables - Robustness against overtraining 4
25 Rectangular cuts - Simplest multivariate method, very intuitive - All HEP analyses are using rectangular cuts, not always completely optimized Rectangular cuts optimization : - Grid search, Monte-Carlo sampling - Genetic algorithm - Simulated annealing Characteristics : - Difficult to discriminate signal from background if non-linear correlations - Optimization difficult to handle with high number of variables Define the signal region :! a1 < x1 < a,! b1 < x < b!... 5
26 Fisher discriminant Fisher method : - Cut on a linear combination of the input variables! y < a.x1 + b.x - This corresponds to an hyper-plan in the variable phase-space - Very efficient if linear correlations - Again, difficult to handle non-linear correlations - More easily trained than rectangular cuts 6
27 Likelihood estimator - The likelihood ratio is defined by : L S(B) (i) = n var k=1 p S(B),k (x k (i)) y L (i) = L S (i) L S (i)+l B (i) is the product of the probability function for each variables. - Optimal when no correlation between the variables - This likelihood method does not take into account the correlations and is therefore sub-optimal in presence of correlations - Refinements exist to take into account the correlations 7
28 Neural network - Most commonly used : the multi-layer perceptron - Composed of neurons taking as input a linear combination of the previous neuron outputs - Activation function (usually tanh) transforms the linear combination - Weights for each neurons are found during the training phase by minimizing the error on the neural network output Input Layer Hidden Layer Output Layer x 1 y 1 1 w 1 11 w 1 1 y 1 y w 11 - Neural networks are universal approximators : takes advantage of correlations x x 3 y 1 y 1 3 y 3 y 4 y 3 1 y ANN - Quite stable against overtraining and against increasing number of variables x 4 Bias y w 1 45 w 1 05 Bias y 5 1 w 51 w 01 8
29 Decision tree - A decision tree is a binary tree : a sequence of cuts paving the phase-space of the input variables - Repeated yes/no decisions on each variables are taken for an event until a stop criterion is fulfilled - Trained to maximize the purity of signal nodes (or the impurity of background nodes) - Decision trees are extremely sensitive to the training samples, therefore to overtraining - To stabilize their performance, one uses different techniques : - Boosting - Bagging - Random forests 9
30 Support Vector Machine - Idea : build a hyperplane that separate signal and background vectors (events) using only a subset of all training vectors (support vectors) - Position of the hyperplane found by maximizing the margin between it and the support vectors - Higher dimensions spaces are used by non-linear transformation, using kernel functions such as the gaussian basis - SVM can be competitive with NN and BDT but is often less discriminant : often data are non-separable, therefore sensitive to all the SVM parameters - In some cases this method performs very well 30
31 Training and application Training / test samples - For all multivariate methods, two samples are used : - Training sample - Test sample - This is mandatory to check that the training has converged to a solution which does not depend on the statistical fluctuations of the training sample - Generally speaking, MVA should be applied (or tested) in events where the response is not known - Training is time-consuming, especially while increasing the number of variables (and depending on the method) - Application is usually faster : it uses a set of weights used in the MVA output computation 31
32 Which method to choose? From TMVA manual MVA METHOD CRITERIA Cuts Likelihood PDE- RS / k-nn PDE- Foam H- Matrix Fisher / LD MLP BDT Rule- Fit SVM Performance No or linear correlations Nonlinear correlations Speed Training Response Robust- Overtraining ness Weak variables Curse of dimensionality Transparency 3
