Parameter uncertainties in weighted unbinned maximum likelihood fits

Abstract Parameter estimation via unbinned maximum likelihood fits is central for many analyses performed in high energy physics. Unbinned maximum likelihood fits using event weights, for example to statistically subtract background contributions via the sPlot formalism, or to correct for acceptance...
