Some ways of combining optimum interval upper limits
S. Yellin
When backgrounds are not well enough controlled to measure the value of some physical parameter, one may still obtain an upper limit on the parameter. A single experiment may have…

Extending the optimum interval method
S. Yellin
The optimum interval method for finding an upper limit of a one-dimensionally distributed signal in the presence of an unknown background is extended to the case of high statistics…

Finding an Upper Limit in the Presence of Unknown Background
S. Yellin
Experimenters report an upper limit if the signal they are trying to detect is non-existent or below their experiment's sensitivity. Such experiments may be contaminated with a bac…
