DESCRIPTION:The series of four lectures will introduce some of the importa
 nt statistical methods used in Particle Physics\, and should be particular
 ly relevant to those involved in the analysis of LHC data. The lectures wi
 ll include an introduction to statistical tests\, parameter estimation\, a
 nd the application of these tools to searches for new phenomena. Both freq
 uentist and Bayesian methods will be described\, with particular emphasis 
 on treatment of systematic uncertainties. The lectures will also cover unf
 olding\, that is\, estimation of a distribution in binned form where the v
 ariable in question is subject to measurement errors.\n\nhttp://indico.cer
