Workshop on Advanced Statistics for Physics Discovery

Join us for the Workshop on Advanced Statistics for Physics Discovery to explore cutting-edge statistical methods and their applications in particle physics and other fields. This workshop aims to create a new generation of experts capable of investigating nature's fundamental particles and solving problems relevant to society. Key aspects include PhD opportunities, training events, secondments, and statistics for particle physics, industry, and society.

  1. Workshop on Advanced Statistics for Physics Discovery aspd.stat.unipd.it Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padova, 24-25 Sep 2018 Introductory Remarks on INSIGHTS Glen Cowan RHUL Physics / INSIGHTS Sci. Coord. Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  2. INSIGHTS host institutions Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  3. INSIGHTS Partners Digitalcomoedia Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  4. Who we are Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  5. Our Mission The INSIGHTS Innovative Training Network will develop advanced statistical methods, implement them in software, and apply them to solve problems in Particle Physics and other fields. In doing so, we will create the next generation of experts not only able to investigate Nature's fundamental particles but also to solve problems of broad relevance to society. Key aspects: PhD from host institution Training Events Secondments at partner nodes Statistics for Particle Physics, Industry and Society Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  6. Extra Slides Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  7. WP1 Statistical Methods Coordinator: Allen Caldwell, MPI Munich Statistical modeling Multivariate analysis Bayesian computation Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  8. WP2 Software Tools Coordinator: Wouter Verkerke, NIKHEF Modular and efficient software implementation of the statistical techniques developed in the Network will be used to integrate the methods into the general data analysis frameworks: ROOT TMVA RooFit/RooStats BAT GAMBIT Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  9. WP3 Physics Applications Coordinator – Alex Read, University of Oslo Goal is not to develop statistical tools “in a vacuum” but to ensure they an cope with the real-world complexities of actual analyses. Physics applications include: LHC Physics (ATLAS and CMS) Top and Higgs physics, search for new processes Neutrino physics (SHiP) Double Beta Decay (GERDA) Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  10. WP4 Statistics for Society Coordinator: Paolo Agnoli, Pangea Formazione (Rome) Statistics in HEP to/from our partners in research and industry: Volcanology (INGV) Climate Science (CICERO) Finance (KPMG, FISCAL) Image recognition, traffic flow (Pangea Formazione) Image Processing (Digital Comoedia) Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  11. WP5 Management Coordinator: Glen Cowan, RHUL Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro

  12. WP6 Training Coordinator: Luca Lista, INFN Naples Built on existing events as well as several new created by INSIGHTS, e.g., Pan-European School of Advanced Statistics at DESY Padova, 24,25 Sep 2018 / INSIGHTS Intro
