• on/off experiments with background uncertainty;
• exact and MC reference calculations;
• first-order profile-likelihood approximations;
• higher-order Barndorff–Nielsen corrections;
• Asimov and Monte Carlo estimates of median discovery significance;
• scripts and configurations used to reproduce the accompanying paper results.

Installation

python -m pip install count-significance==0.2.0
