• Performance of b-jet identification in the ATLAS experiment (2015, result): “The combination results have also been compared with those obtained with the “Best Linear Unbiased Estimates” (BLUE) method [60].”
• Higgs Physics at the HL-LHC and HE-LHC (2019, background): “[184], due to the different approaches concerning the theoretical uncertainties used in the extrapolations by the two experiments, which leads to differences in some of the correlation values.”
• Identification of heavy-flavour jets with the CMS detector in pp collisions at 13 TeV (2017, methodology): “This technique was also used for combining the SFb measurements in Run 1 [1], but here it has been extended to fit all the jet pT bins simultaneously [69], treating more correctly the bin-to-bin correlations for the systematic uncertainties.”
• An algorithm for U‐Pb isotope dilution data reduction and uncertainty propagation (2011, methodology): “Along with the numerical dates themselves, the date covariance matrix, S, can then be used to calculate a generalized weighted mean [Lyons et al., 1988; Valassi, 2003] that accounts for both random and systematic uncertainties.”
• First combination of Tevatron and LHC measurements of the top-quark mass (2014, background): “The mass of the top quark (mtop) is an important parameter of the standard model of particle physics (SM).”
• Identification of heavy-flavour jets with the CMS detector in pp collisions at 13 TeV (2017, methodology): “This technique was also used for combining the SFb measurements in Run 1 [1], but here it has been extended to fit all the jet pT bins simultaneously [69], treating more correctly the bin-to-bin correlations for the systematic uncertainties.”
• Measurement of the Z/ѵ* boson transverse momentum distribution in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector (2014, unknown): “The electron- and muon-channel cross sections are combined using χ2 minimization, following the best linear unbiased estimator prescription (BLUE) [48, 49].”
• Measurement of the photon identification efficiencies with the ATLAS detector using LHC Run-1 data (2016, unknown): “The combination is performed independently in the different pseudorapidity and transverse energy bins, using the Best Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE) method [45,46].”
