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...

Confidence Intervals and the New Statistics

Most readers understand that 57% is our best estimate of true support for the President, in the population from which the pollster sampled, and that the 2% margin of error (MOE) tells us that the estimate is, most likely, not more than 2% from the true value. In other words, values inside the interval [55, 59], as marked by the error bars in Figure 1, are the most plausible for the true value. ...

Distribution Free Confidence Intervals for Quantiles Based on Extreme Order Statistics in a Multi-Sampling Plan

Extended Abstract. Let Xi1 ,..., Xini   ,i=1,2,3,....,k  be independent random samples from distribution $F^{alpha_i}$،  i=1,...,k, where F is an absolutely continuous distribution function and $alpha_i>0$ Also, suppose that these samples are independent. Let Mi,ni and  M'i,ni  respectively, denote the maximum and minimum of the ith sa...
