RooStats::FeldmanCousins Class Reference

The FeldmanCousins class (like the Feldman-Cousins technique) is essentially a specific configuration of the more general NeymanConstruction.

It is a concrete implementation of the IntervalCalculator interface that, which uses the NeymanConstruction in a particular way. As the name suggests, it returns a ConfidenceInterval. In particular, it produces a RooStats::PointSetInterval, which is a concrete implementation of the ConfInterval interface.

The Neyman Construction is not a uniquely defined statistical technique, it requires that one specify an ordering rule or ordering principle, which is usually encoded by choosing a specific test statistic and limits of integration (corresponding to upper/lower/central limits). As a result, this class must be configured with the corresponding information before it can produce an interval.

In the case of the Feldman-Cousins approach, the ordering principle is the likelihood ratio – motivated by the Neyman-Pearson lemma. When nuisance parameters are involved, the profile likelihood ratio is the natural generalization. One may either choose to perform the construction over the full space of the nuisance parameters, or restrict the nuisance parameters to their conditional MLE (eg. profiled values).
