Abstract
In this chapter a brief introduction into the concept of the maximum likelihood (ML) method is given, which is used to obtain the physical results presented in this thesis. Two problems in the context of ML, namely calculation of normalization integrals and dependencies among observables, and developed solutions are discussed. Further, an alternative approach for error propagation is presented. Finally, details on the continuum suppression, a technique to address the dominant background in the analysis presented in this thesis, are given.
