Abstract
Relations are derived that can be used to infer parameters in situations where theoretical predictions can be compared to experimental data only indirectly via Monte Carlo simulation. We consider least square and likelihood ratio fits. Parameter changes in the fitting procedures are performed by re-weighting Monte Carlo events. Formulas for goodness-of-fit tests based on the χ2χ2 and the likelihood ratio statistic are presented.
