Bayesian reweighting for global fits
Nobuo Sato, J. F. Owens, Harrison Bertrand Prosper · Physical review. D. Particles, fields, gravitation, and cosmology/Physical review. D. Particles and fields · 2014
Two different techniques for adding additional data sets to existing global fits using Bayesian reweighting have been proposed in the literature. The derivation of each reweighting formalism is critically reviewed. A simple example is constructed that conclusively favors one of the two formalisms. The effects of this choice for global fits are discussed.
