Confidence Level Computation for Combining Searches with Small Statistics
This article describes an efficient procedure for computing approximate confidence levels for searches for new particles where the expected signal and background levels are small enough to require the use of Poisson statistics. The results of many independent searches for the same particle may be combined easily, regardless of the discriminating variables which may be measured for the candidate...

متن کاملBias-corrected Confidence Intervals for Rare Searches
We discuss the problem of selecting an optimal cut and then finding confidence limits based on that cut. Even when performing a blind analysis this may lead to a bias in the limits because the cut selected may be optimal for a real or simulated data set with limited statistics and thus may be sensitive to fluctuations in this data set. We propose to use a variant of the bootstrap to find the li...
متن کاملCombining Classifiers with Informational Confidence
We propose a new statistical method for learning normalized confidence values in multiple classifier systems. Our main idea is to adjust confidence values so that their nominal values equal the information actually conveyed. In order to do so, we assume that information depends on the actual performance of each confidence value on an evaluation set. As information measure, we use Shannon’s well...
