Abstract: We present a comprehensive analysis of inclusive $W(\ensuremath{\rightarrow}e\ensuremath{\nu})+n\mathrm{\text{-jet}}$ ($n\ensuremath{\ge}1$, 2, 3, 4) production in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV at the Tevatron collider using a $3.7\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ data set collected by the D0 detector. Differential cross sections are presented as a function of the jet rapidities ($y$), lepton transverse momentum (${p}_{T}$) and pseudorapidity ($\ensuremath{\eta}$), the scalar sum of the transverse energies of the $W$ boson and all jets (${H}_{T}$), leading dijet ${p}_{T}$ and invariant mass, dijet rapidity separations for a variety of jet pairings for ${p}_{T}$-ordered and angular-ordered jets, dijet opening angle, dijet azimuthal angular separations for ${p}_{T}$-ordered and angular-ordered jets, and $W$ boson transverse momentum. The mean number of jets in an event containing a $W$ boson is measured as a function of ${H}_{T}$, and as a function of the rapidity separations between the two highest-${p}_{T}$ jets and between the most widely separated jets in rapidity. Finally, the probability for third-jet emission in events containing a $W$ boson and at least two jets is studied by measuring the fraction of events in the inclusive $W+2\mathrm{\text{-jet}}$ sample that contain a third jet over a ${p}_{T}$ threshold. The analysis employs a regularized singular value decomposition technique to accurately correct for detector effects and for the presence of backgrounds. The corrected data are compared to particle level next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD predictions, predictions from all-order resummation approaches, and a variety of leading-order and matrix element plus parton shower event generators. Regions of the phase space where there is agreement or disagreement with the data are discussed for the different models tested.
