Using Machine Learning to Select High-Quality Measurements

Andrew Edmonds, David Brown, Luciano Vinas, Samantha Pagan

Abstract: We describe the use of machine learning algorithms to select high-quality measurements for the Mu2e experiment. This technique is important for experiments with backgrounds that arise due to measurement errors. The algorithms use multiple pieces of ancillary information that are sensitive to measurement quality to separate high-quality and low-quality measurements.
