fc_find_average_upper_limit

gammapy.stats.fc_find_average_upper_limit(x_bins, matrix, upper_limit, mu_bins, prob_limit=1e-05)

Calculate the average upper limit for a confidence belt.

See also: Feldman and Cousins Confidence Intervals

Parameters:

x_bins : array-like

Bins in x direction

matrix : array-like

A list of x PDFs for increasing values of mue (same as for fc_construct_acceptance_intervals_pdfs).

upper_limit : array-like

Feldman Cousins upper limit x-coordinates

mu_bins : array-like

The bins used in mue direction.

prob_limit : float

Probability value at which x values are no longer considered for the average limit.

Returns:

average_limit : float

Average upper limit
