I'm doing a Fisher Forecast to satisfy my experimental physics requirement. I never done anything like this before so I'm kind of in the dark of how to proceed. I have done some readings on Fisher Forecasting and would like to outline how I would do it and then ask if you can tell me if I'm right.
Thanks you
- I have a list of observables and how they vary with parameters I want to know the errors bars for.
- I also have a list of upcoming experiments which can constrain these parameters with there expected noise levels and instrumental uncertainty.
- I have covariant matrices from experiments done in the past that constrain these parameters.
- I then form my fisher matrix with the following equation
- Once I have those matrices from all of my experiments for each parameter I then invert those matrices, add them onto the covariant matrices from past experiments. I then invert that to get my Fisher Information Matrix
- In order to find the uncertainties for each of my parameters once I have the Fisher Information Matrix I compute
Thanks you
