Description
The determination of a function from a finite set of points is notoriously an ill-defined problem, which clearly affects the determination of PDFs. As high-energy physics moves into the era of precision, it is mandatory to find a robust way of quantifying the uncertainties affecting the determination of PDFs, which play a central role in the analysis of experimental data at hadronic colliders. We discuss a Bayesian approach to inverse problems and its application to the case of PDFs.
