Goodness-of-fit tests for arbitrary multivariate models

|
By Allen Caldwell, Lolian Shtembari
| Physical Review B
Goodness-of-fit tests are often used in data analysis to test the agreement of a distribution to a set of data. These tests can be used to detect an unknown signal against a known background or to set limits on a proposed signal distribution in experiments contaminated by poorly understood backgrounds. Out-of-the-box nonparametric tests that can target any proposed distribution are only available in the univariate case.

Limit setting using spacings in the presence of unknown backgrounds

|

| Physical Review B
Finding upper limits on the rate of events from a proposed process in the presence of unknown backgrounds is an often encountered problem in the search for rare processes. Methods based on unusually large “gaps,” or spacings, in the event distribution allow to set limits on the rate of the proposed signal distribution.
