Hi Gerco,

Thanks for compiling this list. I could not find much about the email discussion we had after the meeting about the plugin method. Maybe I missed it since I did not carefully went through all comments.

The general feeling (Diego and I) was that the plugin method should be described better. In particular since there seem to be multiple methods. And also since what they describe in the ANA note (l.439-446) seems to indicate that they do something completely different compared to the plugin method that is described in reference that they give in the paper. In fact, we are worried that they simply fixed the values of the nuisance parameters to their best fit value. And assigned a systematic uncertainty to the spread observed after varying the nuisance parameters within some arbitrary large spread. If that is the case, they should not reference this plugin paper.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Hi all,

A paper for us. It poses some non trivial questions about statistics and how to best represent the results. Someone with a taste for stats would be very welcome to present it to the group and collect the comments.

Cheers,

Patrick

Correction: the deadline has been moved back by one day to March 10. This is meant to give one more day of scrutiny of the collaboration comments before approving the preliminary result for presentation at Moriond. Cheers, Rolf
