JASP: a program to estimate discovery and exclusion limits in prospective studies of searches
Description
Abstract This program computes the discovery and exclusion limits that can be set in prospective studies of new experiments in the search for new phenomena. It properly takes into account the different outcomes that the experiment can obtain including the possible signal and background fluctuations. The procedure gives in general more conservative limits than those obtained assuming that the experiment will obtain a number of events equal to the expected mean. The difference may be essential in those ...
