barak.stats.binomial_min_max_limits(conf, ntrial, nsuccess)[source]¶

Calculate the minimum and maximum binomial probability consistent with seeing nsuccess from ntrial at a given confidence level.

conf: float

95%, 90%, 68.3% or similar.

ntrial, nsuccess: int

The number of trials and successes.

Returns :	plo, phi : floats Mean number of events such that >= observed number of events nevents occurs in fewer than conf% of cases (mulo), and mean number of events such that <= nevents occurs in fewer than conf% of cases (muhi)
