Description
ABSTRACT:
I will review goodness of fit testing and two sample testing in the
context of trying to test for a new signal. My goal is to point to
results in the statistics literature that might be unfamiliar in the
physics community. Topics will include: optimal tests,
classifier-based tests, reproducing kernel Hilbert space tests, level set tests, bump tests and robustness.
