Abstract Details

2015, Bachelor of Science (BS), Ohio University, Physics.
This thesis is focused on the rigorous calculations of effective field theories made possible through the application of Bayesian inference. We begin with a complete Bayesian extraction of low-energy constants from a blind toy function. Logically following is the presentation of an extended discussion on the formulation of statistically significant confidence intervals on the predictions of such a theory. Finally, we return to the extraction procedure to gain insights into the indications of a dysfunctional relationship between the prior of a Bayesian analysis and the data.
