Observables in particle physics, particularly in lattice QCD calculations, are often obtained through fits. However, reliable determination of the covariance matrix and its inverse from correlated and auto-correlated data is challenging and can lead to close-to-singular estimates. To address this, modifications of the X2 definition, such as uncorrelated fits, are proposed. We demonstrate how the goodness-of-fit measured by the p-value can still be robustly estimated for a wide range of such fits.
Observables in particle physics and specifically in lattice QCD calculations are often extracted from fits. Standard X2 tests require a reliable determination of the covariance matrix and its inverse from correlated and auto-correlated data, a challenging task often leading to close-to-singular estimates. These motivate modifications of the definition of X2 such as uncorrelated fits. We show how the goodness-of-fit measured by their p-value can still be estimated robustly for a broad class of such fits.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
