Abstract

We report the preliminary results of a meta-analysis conducted to examine possible biases in the uncertainty values published in papers by ATLAS and CMS experiments. We have performed this analysis using two independent techniques: a vectoral analysis of the vector graphics files and a bitmap analysis of the raster graphic files of the exclusion plots from various physics searches. In both procedures, the aim is to compute the percentages of the data points scattered within 1σ and 2σ bands of the plots and verify whether the measured percentages agree with statistical norms, assuming unbiased estimations of the uncertainties.
