Estimation of Upper Limits Using a Poisson Statistic
Bayesian, classical, and extended maximum likelihood approaches to estimation of upper limits in experiments with small numbers of signal events are surveyed. The discussion covers only experiments whose outcomes are well described by a Poisson statistic. A new approach, based on the statistical significance of a signal rather than on the number of events in the signal region, is proposed. A to...
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...
متن کاملEstimation Sampling Sampling Estimation Sampling Test Statistic Test Statistic
In this paper, we introduce a Goodness-of-Fit test for the Multivariate Exponential Power (MEP) distribution, a multivariate extension of the Generalized Gaussian, which has recently gained considerable interest as a model for wavelet coefficients in the context of color image retrieval and spread-spectrum watermarking. We present a size and power study of this test and show Goodness-of-Fit res...
متن کاملOnline Estimation of Elbow Joint Angle Using Upper Arm Acceleration: A Movement Partitioning Approach
Estimating the elbow angle using shoulder data is very important and valuable in Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) systems which can be useful in assisting C5/C6 SCI patients. Much research has been conducted based on the elbow-shoulder synergies.The aim of this study was the online estimation of elbow flexion/extension angle from the upper arm acceleration signals during ADLs. For this, ...
متن کاملestimation of excess hazard using compound poisson frailty model
b a c k g r o u n d & aim: the excess hazard rate proposed by andersen and vaeth may underestimate the long-term excess hazard rate for cancer survival. zahl explained the phenomenon by continuous selection of the most robust individuals after diagnosis. he applied correlated inverse gaussian and gamma frailty models to estimate excess intensity and reached a better estimate of the rat...
