Confidence Limits and Their Robustness
Abstract Confidence limits are common place in physics analysis. Great care must be taken in their calculation and use, especially in cases of limited statistics when often one-sided limits are quoted. In order to estimate the stability of the confidence levels to addition of more data and/or change of cuts, we argue that the variance of their sampling distributions be calculated in addition to...
متن کاملStronger Classical Confidence Limits
A new way of defining limits in classical statistics is presented. This is a natural extension of the original Neyman’s method, and has the desirable property that only information relevant to the problem is used in making statistical inferences. The result is a strong restriction on the allowed confidence bands, excluding in full generality pathologies as empty confidence regions or unstable s...
متن کاملSignal Confidence Limits from a Neural Network Data Analysis
This paper deals with a situation of some importance for the analysis of experimental data via Neural Network (NN) or similar devices: Let N data be given, such that N = Ns +Nb, where Ns is the number of signals, Nb the number of background events, both unknown. Assume that a NN has been trained, such that it will tag signals with efficiency Fs, (0 < Fs < 1) and background data with Fb, (0 < Fb...
متن کاملLanguage Identification With Confidence Limits
A statistical classification algorithm and its application to language identification from noisy input are described. The main innovation is to compute confidence limits on the classification, so that the algorithm terminates when enough evidence to make a clear decision has been made, and so avoiding problems with categories that have similar characteristics. A second application, to genre ide...
