Ratio of counts vs ratio of rates in Poisson processes
Giulio D'Agostini
The often debated issue of `ratios of small numbers of events' is approached from a probabilistic perspective, making a clear distinction between the predictive problem (forecastin…
Checking individuals and sampling populations with imperfect tests
Giulio D'Agostini, Alfredo Esposito
In the last months, due to the emergency of Covid-19, questions related to the fact of belonging or not to a particular class of individuals (`infected or not infected'), after bei…
Search for heavy neutral lepton production in decays to positrons
NA62 collaboration
A search for heavy neutral lepton () production in decays using the data sample collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017--2018 is reported. Upper limits of…
Upper limit on the branching fraction with the KLOE experiment
D. Babusci, M. Berlowski, C. Bloise +53
Based on an integrated luminosity of 1.61 fb collision data collected with the KLOE detector at DANE, the Frascati -factory, a search for the - and -vi…
On a curious bias arising when the scaling prescription is first applied to a sub-sample of the individual results
Giulio D'Agostini
As it is well known, the standard deviation of a weighted average depends only on the individual standard deviations, but not on the dispersion of the values around the mean. This…
Skeptical combination of experimental results using JAGS/rjags with application to the K mass determination
Giulio D'Agostini
The question of how to combine experimental results that `appear' to be in mutual disagreement, treated in detail years ago in a previous paper, is revisited. The first novelty of…
