Statistical error analysis for phenomenological nucleon-nucleon potentials
Statistical error analysis for phenomenological nucleon-nucleon potentials
Nucleon-nucleon potentials are common in nuclear physics and are determined from a finite number of experimental data with limited precision sampling the scattering process. We study the statistical assumptions implicit in the standard least-squares ${\ensuremath{\chi}}^{2}$ fitting procedure and apply, along with more conventional tests, a tail-sensitive quantile-quantile test as a …
