Hypothesis Test Calculator based on the asymptotic formulae for the profile likelihood ratio.

Performs hypothesis tests using asymptotic formula for the profile likelihood and Asimov data set

See G. Cowan, K. Cranmer, E. Gross and O. Vitells: Asymptotic formulae for likelihood- based tests of new physics. Eur. Phys. J., C71:1–19, 2011. It provides method to perform an hypothesis tests using the likelihood function and computes the p values for the null and the alternate using the asymptotic formulae for the profile likelihood ratio described in the given paper.

The calculator provides methods to produce the Asimov dataset, i.e a dataset generated where the observed values are equal to the expected ones. The Asimov data set is then used to compute the observed asymptotic p-value for the alternate hypothesis and the asymptotic expected p-values.

The asymptotic formulae are valid only for one POI (parameter of interest). So the calculator works only for one-dimensional (one POI) model. If more than one POI exists consider as POI only the first one is used.
