31 Test Statistic and Interpretation! -2ln(Q), Q=L(s+b data)/l(b data)! L is a likelihood obtained by multiplying all 80 Poison probabilities of hypothesis s+b or b given the observed data. The likelihood is minimized with respect to nuisance parameters that model the systematic uncertainties and a freely floating parameter for the signal.! P values compare the values of 2ln(Q) observed in data to a ensemble of pseudo experiments in a given hypothesis.! The most likely value of the signal is fit using the same likelihood and the confidence intervals are determined by using the change in chi2 M. Herndon, SUSY
