Course guarantor:

Miroslav Myška

Lecturer:

Miroslav Myška

Tutor:

Miroslav Myška, Lukáš Novotný

Supervisor:

Department of Physics

Synopsis:

Individual student’s work will include implementation and testing of a program for analysis of generated data sample. Background understanding of Monte Carlo generators for hadron collision will be explained. The course covers methods of data smearing and subsequent deconvolution of data. Basics understanding and usage of neural networks and machine learning will be covered.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Gaussian noise and detector response.

2. Fisher information.

3. Testing of hypotheses.

4. Maximum entropy method.

5. Deconvolution – Bayes approach, SVD method a HBOM method.

6. Methods for generation of random samples.

7. Simulation of random processes via the Monte Carlo method.
