Particle Data Group Book review on Statistics, Glen Cowan
(There are also sections on Probability Theory and on Monte Carlo Techniques.)
This is a short summary, and not intended to be a tutorial -
"Statistical Data Analysis" Glen Cowan
One of several books on statistics written by particle physicists; but at 220 pages long, would best be considered as a reference document -
CDF Statistics Committee web-page
Contains links to several interesting notes e.g.:- "Likelihood" Louis Lyons
- "Bayes or Frequentism?" Louis Lyons
- "Methods for comparing two hypotheses" Louis Lyons
- "Simple facts about p-values" Craig Blocker et al.
-
"Why isn't every physicist a Bayesian" Bob Cousins
A simple example illustrating the different statistical methods of estimating parameter values and uncertainties - "Systematic Errors" Joel Heinrich et al
-
"A Unified Approach to the Classical Statistical Analysis of Small Signals" Gary Feldman and Bob Cousins
An alternative frequentist approach, which reduces the chance of empty intervals, and avoids 'flip-flopping'. - "Blind analyses in nuclear and particle physics" Joshua Kein and Aaron Roodman
-
"PHYSTAT-2011 Workshop Proceedings"
Proceedings of the most recent PHYSTAT Workshop on Statistical Issues in Particle Physics. Videos of the individual talks are at http://indico.cern.ch/event/107747/timetable/#20110117 - Virtual talk on the bounded Gaussian problem Bob Cousins
- Asymptotic formulae for likelihood-based tests of new physics Glen Cowan, Kyle Cranmer, Eilam Gross and Ofer Vitells
- A draft summary of the IPMU workshop in Kashiwa, by Yoshi Uchida

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
