Computing flux upper-limits for non-detections
If a source is not detected above some flux threshold (when expected to be present at a target position), how can one assign a plausible upper limit to its flux such that (i) it has precise probabilistic meaning; (ii) has a degree of confidence that is not subjective or arbitrarily conservative; and (iii) has no dependence on any prior knowledge about the flux? Unfortunately, the astronomical l...
متن کاملUpper Limits on Poisson Processes
This note presents a technique for the calculation of upper limits on Poisson processes at some desired conndence level given a certain number of observed events, an expected number of background events, and uncertainty on both the overall acceptance and the expected background. This hybrid frequentist/Bayes technique represents the standard adopted by the CDF Collaboration in presenting the re...

A common problem in astrophysics is determining how bright a source could be and still not be detected in an observation. Despite the simplicity with which the problem can be stated, the solution involves complicated statistical issues that require careful analysis. In contrast to the more familiar confidence bound, this concept has never been formally analyzed, leading to a great variety of of...
