Confidence intervals for experiments with background and small numbers of events [Elektronische Daten] [W. Brüchle] Methods to find a confidence interval for Poisson distributed variables are illuminated, especially for the case of poor statistics. The application of ‘central' and ‘highest probability density' confidence intervals is compared for the case of low count-rates. A method to determine realistic estimates of the confidence intervals for Poisson distributed variables affected with background, and their ratios, is given. © 2003 Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH Laboratory techniques, experiments nationallicence Analytical chemistry nationallicence Inorganic chemistry nationallicence Radiochimica Acta/International journal for chemical aspects of nuclear science and technology Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH 91/2/2003(2003-02-01), 71-80 0033-8230 91:2/2003<71 2003 91 ract https://doi.org/10.1524/ract.91.2.71.19989 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1524/ract.91.2.71.19989 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Brüchle W.
