Description
The issue of evaluating and expressing the uncertainty
in measurements, as well as that of testing hypotheses,
is reviewed, with particular emphasis on the frontier
cases typical of particle physics experiments.
Fundamental aspects of probability will be addressed
and the applications, solely based on probability theory,
will cover several topics of practical interest, including
counting experiments, upper/lower bounds, systematic errors,
fits and comparison of hypotheses.
