cosmic ray数据的贝叶斯on-off分析

A Bayesian on-off analysis of cosmic ray data

Dalibor Nosek, Jana Nosková

摘要:

我们处理的分析开-关测量旨在确认一个弱源的事件,其存在是假设,根据以前的观察。从贝叶斯的角度来看,一个不精确的背景掩盖了少量的源事件的问题。我们研究三个密切相关的变量,后验分布进行相关信息的各个方面的调查现象。这些信息被用于根据实际数据预测进一步的观测结果。在检测细节的支持下,我们提出了如何量化不同测量之间的差异。的有用性的贝叶斯推断的例子从宇宙射线物理证明。

英文摘要:

We deal with the analysis of on-off measurements designed for the confirmation of a weak source of events whose presence is hypothesized, based on former observations. The problem of a small number of source events that are masked by an imprecisely known background is addressed from a Bayesian point of view. We examine three closely related variables, the posterior distributions of which carry relevant information about various aspects of the investigated phenomena. This information is utilized for predictions of further observations, given actual data. Backed by details of detection, we propose how to quantify disparities between different measurements. The usefulness of the Bayesian inference is demonstrated on examples taken from cosmic ray physics.
