compute_likelihood
Calculate Higgs boson likelihood (-2 log L) by comparing theoretical predictions against LHC experimental data for particle physics analysis.
Instructions
Compute the Higgs likelihood (-2 log L) for a given set of reduced couplings or signal strengths. This is the primary analysis function that compares theoretical predictions against LHC experimental data.
