Abstract

\texttt{GooStats} is a software framework that provides a flexible environment and common tools to implement multi-variate statistical analysis. The framework is built upon the \texttt{CERN ROOT}, \texttt{MINUIT} and \texttt{GooFit} packages. Running a multi-variate analysis in parallel on graphics processing units yields a huge boost in performance and opens new possibilities. The design and benchmark of \texttt{GooStats} are presented in this article along with illustration of its application to statistical problems.
