5 A simulated SUSY event in ATLAS high p T muons high p T jets of hadrons p p missing transverse energy G. Cowan IDPASC School of Flavour Physics, Valencia, 2-7 May 2013 / Statistical Analysis Tools page 5
6 Background events This event from Standard Model ttbar production also has high p T jets and muons, and some missing transverse energy. can easily mimic a SUSY event. G. Cowan IDPASC School of Flavour Physics, Valencia, 2-7 May 2013 / Statistical Analysis Tools page 6
7 Event selection as a statistical test For each event we measure a set of numbers: x = ( x, ) x 1 = jet p T x 2 = missing energy x 3 = particle i.d. measure,... x follows some n-dimensional joint probability density, which depends on the type of event produced, i.e., was it pp tt, pp ~ g ~ g, x p( x H 0 ) j E.g. hypotheses H 0, H 1,... Often simply signal, background 1,x n ( x ) p H 1 x i G. Cowan IDPASC School of Flavour Physics, Valencia, 2-7 May 2013 / Statistical Analysis Tools page 7
8 Finding an optimal decision boundary In particle physics usually start by making simple cuts : H 0 x i < c i x j < c j H 1 Maybe later try some other type of decision boundary: H 0 H 0 H 1 H 1 G. Cowan IDPASC School of Flavour Physics, Valencia, 2-7 May 2013 / Statistical Analysis Tools page 8

51 Decision trees Out of all the input variables, find the one for which with a single cut gives best improvement in signal purity: where w i. is the weight of the ith event. Resulting nodes classified as either signal/background. Iterate until stop criterion reached based on e.g. purity or minimum number of events in a node. The set of cuts defines the decision boundary. Example by MiniBooNE experiment, B. Roe et al., NIM 543 (2005) 577 G. Cowan IDPASC School of Flavour Physics, Valencia, 2-7 May 2013 / Statistical Analysis Tools page 51
52 Finding the best single cut The level of separation within a node can, e.g., be quantified by the Gini coefficient, calculated from the (s or b) purity as: For a cut that splits a set of events a into subsets b and c, one can quantify the improvement in separation by the change in weighted Gini coefficients: where, e.g., Choose e.g. the cut to the maximize Δ; a variant of this scheme can use instead of Gini e.g. the misclassification rate: G.

79 Summary on multivariate methods Particle physics has used several multivariate methods for many years: linear (Fisher) discriminant neural networks naive Bayes and has in the last several years started to use a few more k-nearest neighbour boosted decision trees support vector machines The emphasis is often on controlling systematic uncertainties between the modeled training data and Nature to avoid false discovery. Although many classifier outputs are "black boxes", a discovery at 5σ significance with a sophisticated (opaque) method will win the competition if backed up by, say, 4σ evidence from a cut-based method.

82 Two distinct event selection problems In some cases, the event types in question are both known to exist. Example: separation of different particle types (electron vs muon) Use the selected sample for further study. In other cases, the null hypothesis H 0 means "Standard Model" events, and the alternative H 1 means "events of a type whose existence is not yet established" (to do so is the goal of the analysis). Many subtle issues here, mainly related to the heavy burden of proof required to establish presence of a new phenomenon. Typically require p-value of background-only hypothesis below ~ 10 7 (a 5 sigma effect) to claim discovery of "New Physics". G. Cowan IDPASC School of Flavour Physics, Valencia, 2-7 May 2013 / Statistical Analysis Tools page 82
83 Using classifier output for discovery f(y) background signal N(y) background search region excess? Normalized to unity y Normalized to expected number of events Discovery = number of events found in search region incompatible with background-only hypothesis. p-value of background-only hypothesis can depend crucially distribution f(y b) in the "search region". y cut y G.
