Abstract Properties of the Higgs boson with mass near 125 GeV are measured in proton-
proton collisions with the CMS experiment at the LHC. Comprehensive sets of production …

Observation of the diphoton decay mode of the recently discovered Higgs boson and
measurement of some of its properties are reported. The analysis uses the entire dataset …

Abstract Properties of the Higgs boson with mass near 125\(\,\text {GeV}\) are measured in
proton-proton collisions with the CMS experiment at the LHC. Comprehensive sets of …

The discovery of a new boson with a mass of approximately 125 GeV in 2012 at the Large
Hadron Collider,, has heralded a new era in understanding the nature of electroweak …

This paper describes the COMBINE software package used for statistical analyses by the
CMS Collaboration. The package, originally designed to perform searches for a Higgs …

In fields such as biology, medical sciences, sociology, and economics researchers often
face the situation where the number of available observations, or the amount of available …

The parametric and nonparametric approaches to the bootstrap are compared as to their
performance in estimating uncertainties in extreme-value models. Simulation experiments …

In a series of papers starting in the late 1980s, DAS Fraser, N. Reid and coworkers
developed the tangent exponential model for higher-order likelihood inference. This chapter …

In the frequentist program, inferential methods with exact control on error rates are a primary
focus. The standard approach, however, is to rely on asymptotic approximations, which may …

We outline how modern likelihood theory, which provides essentially exact inferences in a
variety of parametric statistical problems, may routinely be applied in practice. Although the …
