(Julie McEnery Nov 27)-- It would be handy to have a way to calculate an upper limit. I think that this will eventually be needed. (Jim 11/29/06: Computing an upper limit will, of course, require understanding the null distribution, i.e., the TS distributions that David refers to above.
Jim Chiang (11/29/06)--It has been proposed by Jean Ballet to compute a hybrid likelihood that
combines an unbinned analysis for higher energy events that have better PSFs and are sparser, and a binned analyis for lower energies, where the PSF is not as good and binning would help speed up the execution without significant loss of accuracy. Alternatively, we could (also) implement a HEALPix binning scheme, based on Toby's work, that would provide similar computational savings.
