22 \ingroup Roostats
23
24HypoTestResult is a base class for results from hypothesis tests.
25Any tool inheriting from HypoTestCalculator can return a HypoTestResult.
26As such, it stores a p-value for the null-hypothesis (eg. background-only)
27and an alternate hypothesis (eg. signal+background).
28The p-values can also be transformed into confidence levels
29(\f$CL_{b}\f$, \f$CL_{s+b}\f$) in a trivial way.
30The ratio of the \f$CL_{s+b}\f$ to \f$CL_{b}\f$ is often called
31\f$CL_{s}\f$, and is considered useful, though it is not a probability.
32Finally, the p-value of the null can be transformed into a number of
33equivalent Gaussian sigma using the Significance method.
34
35The p-value of the null for a given test statistic is rigorously defined and
36this is the starting point for the following conventions.
37
38### Conventions used in this class
39
40The p-value for the null and alternate are on the **same side** of the
41observed value of the test statistic. This is the more standard
42convention and avoids confusion when doing inverted tests.
43
44For exclusion, we also want the formula \f$CL_{s} = CL_{s+b} / CL_{b}\f$
45to hold which therefore defines our conventions for \f$CL_{s+b}\f$ and
46\f$CL_{b}\f$. \f$CL_{s}\f$ was specifically invented for exclusion
47and therefore all quantities need be related through the assignments
48as they are for exclusion: \f$CL_{s+b} = p_{s+b}\f$; \f$CL_{b} = p_{b}\f$. This
49is derived by considering the scenarios of a powerful and not powerful
50inverted test, where for the not so powerful test, \f$CL_{s}\f$ must be
51close to one.
52
53For results of Hypothesis tests,
54\f$CL_{s}\f$ has no similar direct interpretation as for exclusion and can
55be larger than one.
