Title:
"The Combined numu-nue OscillationsFit for the BDT analysis in
MiniBooNE"
Abstract:
The Boosting Decision Tree (BDT) oscillations analysis in MiniBooNE
uses
the observed numu-CCQE events to normalise and constraint its Monte
Carlo
prediction and systematic errors for the nue events via the
construction
of an error matrix containing the correlations between the bins of
the energy distributions of the two samples. This matrix is then used
in
a chisquare minimization procedure to fit for the oscillation
parameters.
A description of the method is given and a few examples of fits are
described.
