We begin with a complete Bayesian extraction of low-energy constants from a blind toy function. Logically following is the presentation of an extended discussion on the formulation of statistically significant confidence intervals on the predictions of such a theory. Finally, we return to the extraction procedure to gain insights into the indications of a dysfunctional relationship between the prior of a Bayesian analysis and the data. 2015-04-27 English text Ohio University Honors Tutorial College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1429826958 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1429826958 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
