The statistical tools discussed during these lectures can be applied in the analysis of the data from real experiments, for example in the extraction of single-spin or double-spin azimuthal asymmetries. The extraction might be relatively easy if there is a reasonable amount of statistics, there are no gaps in the acceptance or significant inefficiencies in the detectors. Otherwise, powerful statistical tools have to be applied. During the lectures, the least-squares, the unbinned (standard and extended) and binned maximum-likelihood methods of asymmetry extraction have been introduced. In this write up, only the method of standard maximum likelihood is discussed. Maximum likelihood is a technique for estimating the values of parameters given a finite sample of data. It is approximately unbiased and efficient.
