Uncertainties due to imperfect knowledge of systematic effects: general considerations and approximate formulae
G. D'Agostini, M. Raso
Starting from considerations about meaning and subsequent use of asymmetric uncertainty intervals of experimental results, we review the issue of uncertainty propagation. We show t…
Confidence limits: what is the problem? Is there the solution?
G. D'Agostini
This contribution to the debate on confidence limits focuses mostly on the case of measurements with `open likelihood', in the sense that it is defined in the text. I will show tha…
Sceptical combination of experimental results: General considerations and application to epsilon-prime/epsilon
G. D'Agostini
This paper is meant as a contribution to the often debated subject of how to combine data which appear to be in mutual disagreement. As a practical example, the epsilon-prime/epsil…
Inferring the intensity of Poisson processes at the limit of the detector sensitivity (with a case study on gravitational wave burst search)
P. Astone, G. D'Agostini
We consider the issue of reporting the result of search experiment in the most unbiased and efficient way, i.e. in a way which allows an easy interpretation and combination of resu…
