Best linear unbiased estimation of the nuclear masses
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents methods to provide an optimal evaluation of the nuclear masses. The techniques used for this purpose come from data assimilation (DA) that allows combining, in an optimal and consistent way, information coming from experiment and from numerical modelling. Using all the available information, it leads to improve not only masses evaluations, but also their uncertainties. Each newly evaluated mass value is associated with some accuracy that is sensibly reduced with respect to the values given in tables, especially in the case of the less well-known masses. In this paper, we first introduce a useful tool of DA, the Best Linear Unbiased Estimation (BLUE). This BLUE method is applied to nuclear mass tables and some results of improvement are shown. Then finally, some post validation diagnostics, demonstrating that the method has been used in optimal conditions, are described and used to validate the results. keyword Data assimilation, Best Linear Unbiased Estimation, BLUE, nuclear mass

Introduction In classical methods of statistics, the parameter of interest is estimated based on a random sample using natural estimators such as maximum likelihood or unbiased estimators (sample information). In practice, the researcher has a prior information about the parameter in the form of a point guess value. Information in the guess value is called as nonsample information. Thomp...
